Allnigeriasoccer.com, regarded as the most reputable outlet on Nigerian players abroad, brings you the Nigeria-eligible players that found the net for their respective clubs in league matches across Europe on Sunday, October 31.

In the Belgian Pro League, Bayern Munich loanee Joshua Zirkzee netted his second consecutive brace to rescue a point for RSC Anderlecht in a 2-2 draw with Oud-Heverlee Leuven at Lotto Park.

Trailing by two goals, the Netherlands U21 international pulled a goal back in the 40th minute and netted the equaliser in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.

Seven players got on the scoresheet for their Nordic clubs in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway.

Raphael Onyedika's brace and assist for FC Midtjylland in a 3-1 win over Randers in the Danish Superliga was unarguably the standout performance by a Nigerian player this weekend.

The FC Ebedei product opened the scoring with a shot from outside the box in the 14th minute, doubled the advantage with a shot from an acute angle in the 39th minute and provided an assist for his team's third goal in the 64th minute.

Racing Genk loanee Stephen Odey halved the deficit with a fantastic volley in the 53rd minute, taking him to ten goals for the season.

In the Swedish Allsvenskan, IFK Norrköping secured their first win in four matches after beating Elfsborg 3-2 at the
PlatinumCars Arena (Norrköping).

Two Nigerians combined to score the winner for the home team, with Samuel Adegbenro profiting from a pass from Ishaq Abdulrazak to score his 16th league goal in 2021.

Across the border in Norway, Strømsgodset IF secured an important win and clean sheet against Molde in the Eliteserien.

Molde's defence was breached on six occasions with Fred Friday breaking the deadlock nine minutes before halftime.

There are three goals to report in the Finnish Veikkausliiga. Michael Ogungbaro had to wait for 23 matchdays before opening his account for the 2021 season.

Ogungbaro got his name on the scoresheet in the 36th minute but his goal was in vain as KTP were beaten 2-1 by Oulu at the Raatin stadion.

Lucky Opara leveled matters on 41 minutes before the home team collected all three minutes with a goal in stoppage time.

Finally, Samuel Chidi came off the bench to play a key role for Haka in a 2-0 win over IFK Mariehamn at Tehtaan kenttä.

The experienced winger broke the deadlock in the 67th minute, seven minutes after his introduction, before providing the assist for the clinching goal in stoppage time.
