His contribution to Luton's emphatic victory exemplified the kind of impact he can have on the pitch, attracting attention not just for his record-breaking performance but also for his potential role in international football.
Nigerian eligibility and international prospects
Born in England, Elijah Adebayo remains eligible to represent Nigeria in international football through his Nigerian heritage. The striker's impressive form in the Premier League raises the prospect of his inclusion in discussions about potential future contributions to the Nigerian national team.
As a promising talent with dual eligibility, Adebayo's journey in professional football continues to capture the interest of both club and international football enthusiasts.
