Published: December 12, 2020

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up on the Nigeria-eligible players who were on target for their respective clubs in the English Football League on Saturday, December 12.

We begin in the Championship. Former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke was the star of the show at the Vitality Stadium, scoring two goals and providing an assist as Bournemouth thrashed Huddersfield Town 5-0.

The number 9 chipped the goalkeeper to open the scoring in the 8th minute, then made it 2-0 at minute 13 before setting up Brooks for the third goal with 21 minutes gone.

At the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, an 89th winner from in-demand attacking midfielder Michael Olise on his 19th birthday secured all the three points for Reading in a 1-0 win vs Queens Park Rangers.

One of the hottest prospects in the Football League, Olise has been directly involved in 9 goals (3 goals, 6 assists) so far this season.

A division lower, former Arsenal trainee Chuks Aneke made it five goals in his last nine matches in the League One with an 85th minute strike for Charlton Athletic in their 5-2 rout of AFC Wimbledon at the Valley.

Aneke showed great tenacity to win the ball before firing home for 4-2, 32 minutes after his introduction as a substitute.

In the League Two, 2000-born Republic of Ireland youth international Joshua Kayode scored with a powerful header in the 20th minute of Carlisle United's 4-0 demolition of Stevenage at Brunton Park.

Still in the division, Arsenal loanee James Olayinka opened his league account for Southend United against
Scunthorpe United at Roots Hall.

Ten minutes from time, the midfielder, from the edge of the box, fired past the goalkeeper to secure three points for the home team.

Finally, Fulham Academy product Elijah Adebayo was on target in the 44th minute as Walsall overturned an early goal to claim a 2-1 win vs Bolton Wanderers.
