Towering Souttar a heady 'cheat code' for Australia
The Straits Times|November 23, 2023
Harry Souttar has been hailed as a "cheat code" after the towering 1.98m defender scored his 10th goal for Australia in the 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Palestine on Nov 21.
Towering Souttar a heady 'cheat code' for Australia

The Scotland-born centre-back headed in after 18 minutes from a Craig Goodwin corner to put Australia top of their qualifying group with two wins from two matches.

The goal was virtually a carbon copy of his fourth-minute header in the 7-0 rout of Bangladesh in Melbourne last week, with Goodwin also the provider.

It silenced the thousands of spectators who turned up at the 60,000-seater stadium in Kuwait City for a match that was moved from the West Bank because of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Souttar, who plays for English Championship side Leicester City, made his debut for his national side in 2019, but his 10-goal haul is a record more akin to a forward than a defender.
