The cup win on Sunday adds to his Genero Adran and JD Cymru trophies this season

Kenyan forward Adam Wilson added to his growing piece of silverware after helping his Welsh side, The New Saints (TNS), win a record-equalling third title this season on Sunday 4 May.

Wilson, 25, played the full 90 minutes and also had a goal disallowed as TNS rallied back against Connah's Quay Nomads to clinch the JD Welsh Cup.

Wilson’s early strike was harshly overturned for a pull on the shirt of Nomads defender Kris Owen, but the JD Cymru Premier League champions found a way to overturn a seven-minute deficit to win 2-1, and with it, claim a 10th Welsh Cup.

The win marked TNS's first treble since 2016.

For Wilson, the title was his third this season, capping what has been a fruitful campaign on loan from EFL League Two side Bradford City.

“What a season. 3 trophies. 1 team. History made,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. “Grateful for every moment, this one’s for the books.”

Elsewhere in Denmark, Harambee Stars defender Daniel Anyembe was once again in action as Viborg settled for a barren draw with Lyngby.

Anyembe, 26, clocked 90 minutes in the Super League contest, but picked a yellow card a minute after the hour-mark.

It was his second consecutive full game after coming on as a sub two weeks ago.

In Norway, Kenyan forward Alfred Scriven played the full 90 minutes as Bryne suffered their fourth defeat of the new season, going 3-0 down to third-placed Rosenborg.

Scriven, who last featured for Harambee Stars in November last year, has one goal and assist this season, even as Bryne remains with just a single win in six top-tier matches.

In Sweden, Kenyan youngster Stanley Wilson was missing from AIK’s squad as they drew 1-1 with Djugarden, while Harambee Stars goalkeeper Ian Otieno was left on the bench in Richards Bay’s 1-0 win over TS Galaxy in the South African Premiership.
