He played 42 games for the championship club, scored four goals and scored 5, and confirmed that he was selected for the World Cup.
Now he has created history for his country and in style. In the 27th minute against Turkey, the opening pace and power of the Group D clash was brilliant.
Former Australia and Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou told ITV: “It doesn’t matter what level of football you play, whether it’s on the park or at the World Cup, it’s fantastic speed.
This makes him the first player born outside of Australia to score a goal for the Socceroos at the World Cup.
He has previously imitated Michael Jackson in celebrating goals, wearing white gloves when he netted in Curacao in March.
This time he chose to copy former Australia and Everton midfielder Tim Cahill by giving him two punches for the corner flag.
“Timmy Cahill is my biggest inspiration in football,” Erankunda said after the win over Turkey.
“He and Lionel Messi, in my opinion, Australia’s greatest Tim Cahill. If I score, I’ll do it like him and I thought I should.”
Postecoglou believes the goal could have an impact on Erankunda’s future career.
“A big moment,” Postecoglou added. “Sometimes you just need a good couple of weeks in World Cups and your whole world can change. Hopefully it’s a start for him.”
