Carroll opened his account in the 4-1 home defeat before the international break, but his goal against Ency on Saturday grabbed the headlines as he got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row.
His side fell behind early on when Samuel Ntamak opened the scoring, but the former Reds striker equalized with a superb long-range strike just before the break. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Carroll said the move was motivated by a desire to “get away” and that he enjoys the relative anonymity of living abroad.He made 58 appearances in two-and-a-half years at Anfield, including a loan spell at West Ham in 2012/13.
Former no. 9 scored the winning goal against Everton in the 2011/12 FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, Kenny Dalglish leading United to both domestic cup finals. He now wears the number 99 shirt for his new employers and appears to have found a new lease of life after moving abroad in the final year of his career.
