Emmanuel Emenike Relegated To Bench For Third Time In Four Games

For the third time in four matches, Emmanuel Emenike was relegated to the bench for Saturday’s Super Lig clash between Fenerbahce and GençlerbirliÄ�i .

But his introduction in the 82nd minute sparked the Yellow Canaries attack into life, with the Nigeria international fouled 4 minutes later for a penalty, which was converted by Dutchman Dirk Kuyt.

The Turkish champions went ahead in the 50th minute through Emre BelözoÄ�lu before Antal netted eight minutes from time to bring the scoreline to 1 - 1.

Emmanuel Emenike has spent 296 minutes on the pitch without scoring in the Super Lig, having netted last against his first team in Turkey, Karabükspor.

He is one of the players expected to lead the Super Eagles front-line when they square off against Congo and South Africa next month in crucial African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
