Catch up on the Nigerian players who scored for their respective English clubs on Saturday 4th August.

We start off with Tayo Edun who helped his team to a 2-2 draw versus Blackburn Rovers in their Championship game at the Portman Road Stadium.

The 20-year-old who joined the Blues on a season-long loan deal from Fulham yesterday salvaged a point in stoppage time for his team when he floated in a ball in the box which missed everyone and trickled in.

Elsewhere, Victor Adeboyejo was on target for Barnsley in their 4-0 trouncing of Oxford United in a League One game at the Oakwell Stadium.

The former Chelsea trialist fired home from close range to make the scoreline 4-0 after meeting a cross ball from McGeehan in the 89th minute, seven minutes after coming off the bench.

A league lower, Gold Omotayo equally came off the bench to score a winning goal for his new League Two club, Bury in their 1-0 victory over Yeovil Town at the Gigg Lane Stadium.

The 24-year-old striker replaced Chris Dagnall in the 77th minute and nodded in a Wil Aimson's cross in the 89th minute to seal victory for The Shakers.

Finally at the St. Andrew's Stadium, Viv Solomon-Otabor was also on target for Birmingham City in a 2-2 draw with Championship opponents, Norwich City.

The ex-Dream Team VI invitee slotted home in the 89th minute for The Blues to put his side 2-1 up.
