Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the players of Nigerian descent on target for their respective clubs in English Football League matches on Saturday, October 30.

In the League One, Wycombe Wanderers squandered a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.

Adebayo Akinfenwa made it two goals in as many away games when he used his strength to hold off his marker and slotted home from close range on the half hour mark.

Former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo played a key role as Rotherham United secured a comprehensive 5-1 home win over Sunderland at AESSEAL New York Stadium, scoring two goals and providing an assist.

Ten minutes in, Ladapo set up Smith for the opening goal and restored the Millers lead four minutes before halftime when he turned home a cross.

Michael Ihiekwe nodded the ball into the roof of the net for 3-1 and Ladapo tapped the ball in to wrap up the scoring two minutes to the end of the game, assisted by Nigerian-born forward Joshua Kayode.

In the League Two, Port Vale netted four times in the second half to walk away with three points against Crawley Town at the People's Pension Stadium.

Four minutes of time added on, Liverpool academy product David Amoo rounded the Crawley Town goalkeeper and slotted in to give the visitors a 4-1 lead.
