Nigerian Exports : Adelakun, Effiong & Oyeleke On Target For English Clubs

Round up on the Nigerian players who scored for their respective clubs in England on Boxing Day 26th December, 2017.

Hakeeb Adelakun was on target for Scunthorpe United in their 3-2 victory over Blackpool in the EFL League One.

The ex-Crystal Palace ace rattled in his side's third goal in the 46th minute from outside of the box to the bottom left corner after he was teed up by Funso Ojo.

It was the 21-year old's fourth strike in all competitions for United this season while he has equally laid on ten for teammates.

Elsewhere, Emmanuel Oyeleke and Inih Effiong were both on the score sheet for their respective sides in Aldershot Town's 3-1 win over Woking FC in the English National League.

Effiong equalised for Woking two minutes after Shamir Fenelon had put The Shots in the lead in the 12th minute before further goals from Fenelon and Oyeleke (64th minute) gave the hosts the win.

Effiong has now scored six goals in 24 league appearances for Woking this term while he has notched seven assists for his team.
