Catch up on the Nigerian players that were on target for their respective English and Turkish clubs on Saturday, March 10.

We start off at Loftus Road, where Queens Park Rangers entertained Sunderland in a game involving five Nigerians : Eberechi Eze, Nedum Onuoha (both QPR), Joel Asoro, Ovie Ejaria and Josh Maja.

Former Super Eagles invitee Eze netted his maiden goal in QPR's colours after 61 minutes to win the game for the home team.

Two divisions lower, Wycombe Wanderers were held to a 1-1 draw by Uche Ikpeazu and Jabo Ibehre's Cambridge United at Adams Park.

A textbook header from Adebayo Akinfemwa gave The Blues the lead at the break, the striker has been directly involved in 29 goals (16 goals, 13 assists) in the league alone this season.

In the National League, Tom Bolarinwa bagged the winner in the 37th minute in Sutton United's 1-0 win over Solihull Moors.

In the Turkish Super Lig, Sivasspor were forced to a 2-2 draw by Kenneth Omeruo's Kasimpasa at Yeni Sivas 4 Eylül Stadyumu.

Omeruo's teammate Samuel Emem Eduok will hog the headlines back home after the attacker netted his seventh league goal in the 18th minute of the first half.

Four days after he celebrated his 23rd birthday, Dream Team VI star Aminu Umar returned to scoring ways in

Osmanlispor FK's 2-1 victory over Bursaspor. Umar struck in the 17th minute of the contest.

Bursaspor pair Abdullahi Shehu and Mikel Agu started and went the distance in defensive midfield, while teammate William Troost-Ekong was on the bench for the entirety of the game.
