Raman’s late winner proved to be too much for the visitors to come back from, and completed the comeback for the Royal Blues after initially trailing 2-0. “I’m really happy about my goal. The goal showed exactly what I’m all about, running with the ball at pace,” Raman said about his winner, after receiving the ball in his own half from Juan Miranda and staying ice cold to finish off Jürgen Klinsmann’s side.
