Published: October 20, 2017
In-form Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi continues to grab the headlines in Belgium following his goal-scoring heroics, with the striker netting his fifth goal in all competitions as Royal Excel Mouscron lost 3-1 to Uche Agbo's Standard Liege on Friday night.
Making his ninth consecutive start in the Belgium First Division A, the Nigeria U23 international bundled the ball home from close range to equalize for Royal Excel Mouscron in the 49th minute.
An own goal from Locigno on 33 minutes saw REM trailing the visitors heading into the half-time break.
With fifteen minutes remaining, Orlando Sá restored Standard Liege's one goal lead, before Edmilson Junior scored from the spot to add more gloss to the scoreline in injury time.
The former Golden Eaglets sensation has averaged 0.5 goals per game since the start of this season, and it is noteworthy that he has recorded three assists from the ten games.
Both Taiwo Awoniyi and Uche Agbo put in a full shift for their respective teams.
