Nigerian Exports : Onyekuru, Efe Ambrose, Odey On Target For European Clubs
Published: December 10, 2017
Three players who have caps for the Nigerian national team were on target for their respective European clubs in league matches on Sunday, December 10.
In the Scottish Premiership, out-of-favour Super Eagles right back Efe Ambrose opened his goalscoring account in the league as Hibernian were held to a 2-2 draw by Celtic at Easter Road Stadium.
With the home team trailing 2-0, they staged a late comeback courtesy of goals from Ambrose, who tapped home from a corner kick in the 75th minute, and Oliver Shaw.
Over to the Belgian First Division A, Henry Onyekuru hit double-digits in goals when he tallied his tenth of the season across all competitions in Anderlecht's shock 3-1 loss to Sporting Charleroi at Stade Constant Vanden Stock in Brussels.
Anderlecht managed to grab a late consolation goal in the 82nd minute through the Nigeria international, who shrugged off a defender before firing past goalkeeper Penneteau.
Elsewhere, FC Zurich suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Luzern at Stadion Letzigrund, with Stephen Odey registering his first goal for the first team of FC Zurich in the 24th minute.
The former Mountain of Fire attacker made it 1-1 with a powerful left-footed strike from inside the box in the 24th minute.
