Super Eagles Target Maja Continues Blistering Form With 5th Goal In 7 Games For Sunderland
Published: September 08, 2018Former Super Eagles invitee Josh Maja continued his blistering form with a goal for Sunderland in their 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town in an EFL League One match at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors opening the scoring through a Patrick Madden header in the ninth minute but the Black Cats drew level thanks to Maja's goal seven minutes before half-time.
The Nigerian striker's effort crept into the far post after meeting a cross from George Honeyman for his fifth league goal of the season.
Maja had found the net in the first four games in the league against Charlton Athletic, Luton Town, Scunthorpe United and Gillingham.
The 19-year-old was replaced by Charlie Wyke in the 63rd minute in his eight successive game in all competitions this season.
The former Manchester City youth-teamer was called up to the Super Eagles squad during their get-together in London in March 2017 but club duties prevented him from training with the team.
Sunderland, who travel to Burton Albion next weekend, are fourth on the table with 15 points.
