William Troost-Ekong made his Salernitana debut during Friday night’s Serie A game against Lecce at Via Del Mare.

Ekong played every game as Salernitana beat the host 2-1 to secure their first three league points since October.

The 29-year-old left Watford in the English Championship last week after three seasons and returned to Serie A.

His return to Italian football was marked by an impressive performance from CB that filled the stat sheet.

Ekong completed 5 tackles, 1 interception, 2 punts, 2 blocks and 2 winning passing duels.

Davide Nicola’s men were ruthless from the start, battering the hosts with a quick brace from Boulaye Dia (5′) and Tonny Vilhena (20′).

Lecce pulled one back when Gabriel Strefezza (23′) scored, but Salernitana held on for their first league win since October; ending a seven game winless streak.

Meanwhile, the win also moved Salernitana up to 14th place; beating Lecce by one point.
