The latest edition of South Asians in Football Weekly is out after another action-packed week for the community in the Beautiful Game...

Sam Khan's late header gave Luton Town a famous Cup victory over Keynsham Town Ladies, setting up a dream Women's FA Cup fourth round tie with Brighton.

With just seven minutes left to play, hometown girl Khan wanted it more than anyone as she leapt to head past the goalkeeper and score the only goal of the game.

The goal capped a fairytale return for Tennessee Wesleyan College graduate Khan. She returned home and signed for Luton as the men's team clinched promotion to the Premier League following spells playing at a higher level in England at Cambridge City and Actonians.

The win is particularly significant for Eastern Women's Premier League side Luton Town, who earn £35,000 in prize money for reaching the fourth round of the Adobe Women's FA Cup.

They are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition and will now host Women's Super League side Brighton, who are four divisions above them in the top flight of English women's football.

Speaking exclusively toSky Sports News, Her Game Too Luton ambassador Hina Shafi said: «Sam Khan is such a amazing role model for South Asian girls and South Asians in Football, and she's also a wonderful ambassador for the women's game in this country.
