Round up of the Nigeria-eligible players that were on target for their respective clubs in English Football League matches on Saturday, March 16.

In the Championship, Super Eagles defender Semi Ajayi made it six goals in five matches after finding the net in Rotherham United's 2-1 loss to table toppers Norwich City at AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The Millers momentarily restored parity through their number 5, who lashed home an effort into the bottom corner in the 52nd minute.

Still in the division, former England U21 right back Dominic Iorfa helped Sheffield Wednesday claim a 4-2 home win vs Blackburn Rovers.

After providing the assist for his team's first goal, he netted his third goal in Sheffield Wednesday's colours in the 79th minute.

Sammy Ameobi's goal ten minutes from time could not prevent Bolton Wanderers from losing 5-2 to Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.

The former Flying Eagles striker squeezed a shot over the line from a tight angle when the ball fell kindly for him.

In the League One, another in-form player, Wolves loanee Bright Enobakhare took his tally to four goals in his last seven appearances for Coventry City by scoring in their 2-1 win at Peterborough United.

Three minutes into the second half, the striker was left with a simple finish after the Peterborough defense failed to clear the ball out of danger.

Finally in the League Two, MK Dons have to thank ex-Arsenal schoolboy Chuks Aneke for getting a share of the spoils in their 1-1 draw against Stevenage.

With seven minutes left on the clock, Aneke grabbed the equaliser from close range, his 17th goal across all competitions this season.
