Former Chelsea schoolboy Obileye scores his first Scottish Premiership goal

Published: December 12, 2021

It has taken former Chelsea schoolboy Ayo Obileye fifteen matches to score his first-ever goal in the Scottish Premiership.

Obileye's second half goal gave Livingston an important road win against Dundee United at Tannadice Park on Saturday evening.

Following a goalless first half, Livingston were given a chance to take the lead from the spot after Andrew Shinnie was felled by the recovering Fuchs.

Former Nigeria U23 invitee Obileye sent goalkeeper Siegrist the wrong way to open the scoring for the visitors in the 66th minute

The 27-year-old joined Livingston in the summer, signing a two-year deal after ending his association with Scottish Championship club Queen of the South.

He totaled 1,228 minutes on the pitch before netting his first goal in the Scottish Premiership.

His other goal this season came against Brechin City in a League Cup clash on July 10 when he scored on his competitive debut for the Lions.

Before moving to Scotland, Obilye wore the colours of Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic, Dagenham & Redbridge, Eastleigh, Dover Athletic, Maidenhead United and Ebbsfleet United.
