Romeo Beckham scored an injury-time winner as Brentford B beat Wealdstone on Tuesday night.
Last month, the 20-year-old second son of Manchester United and England legend David Beckham, made a loan move to Brentford’s reserve team from Inter Miami, the American club of which his father is president and co-owner.
Beckham plays as a forward and made his Brentford B debut last month in a London Senior Cup match against ninth-tier Erith & Belvedere.
On Tuesday, he notched his first goal for the club, heading in a stoppage-time winner to help the Bees beat Wealdstone 3-2 in the Middlesex Senior Challenge Cup.
Brentford first-team players Frank Onyeka and Fin Stevens featured as the reserves edged past their fifth-tier opponents, and goals from Onyeka and Tristan Crama had helped the Bees into a commanding 2-0 lead.
Wealdstone hauled themselves back from a two-goal deficit to 2-2 at Grosvenor Vale, but Beckham was introduced from the bench in the 75th minute and scored his first goal since leaving the United States on loan, wheeling away to celebrate with his fist clenched and his arm raised.
After joining the west London club in January, Beckham stated: “I’m very proud and very happy to be here. It was a fun season [at Miami] and there were a lot of ups and downs, but I’m excited to come here and see what I can do.”

He had previously played for Arsenal’s academy in 2014 and considered giving up on a career in football when they released him the following year.
