Published: May 25, 2017

Olarenwaju Kayode netted his 17th goal in the Bundesliga in Austria Vienna's 3-2 loss to Salzburg at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion on Thursday evening.

The Nigeria international scored a second goal for the capital team to give them a 2-0 lead after 29 minutes, but the champions fought back to level the match before getting the winner in the 66th minute.

In the race for the top scorer award, Kayode is topping the goal charts as nearest challenger Deni Alar fired blanks in

Sturm Graz's 2-1 win versus Admira Moedling.

This season, the 24-year-old has plundered a career-high 24 goals in all competitions, with five of the strikes coming in the Europa League.

He was omitted from Nigeria's training camp in Corsica because the league won't conclude until Sunday, May 28.
