NEW DELHI: National football team goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has achieved a historic feat as he became the first Indian to feature in a top-tier league match in Europe by turning out for his Norwegian side Stabaek FC.
The 24-year-old Indian kept a clean sheet in his first Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League) start for Stabaek FC, helping them claim a dominant 5-0 triumph over IK Start in an away league match last night.
“Proud to become the First Indian ever to start in a Top Division League game in Europe!!!!,” Sandhu tweeted.
“Facing @ikstart tonight before the International break kicks in, need to finish on a good note @Stabaek #Tippeligaen,” he wrote. (PTI)
