EFL wrap : Adebayo, Odubeko on target; Umerah on fire; Osula nets first senior goals

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 15.

In the Championship, Elijah Adebayo made it three goals in as many matches after finding the net for Luton Town in a 3-1 win against Queens Park Rangers at Kenilworth Road.

Eighteen minutes in, Adebayo headed in from close range after a cross from Carlton Morris. 

From the Championship to the League One now. West Ham loanee Mipo Odubeko needed eight minutes to find the back of the net after coming off the bench as Port Vale played out a 2-2 draw with Forest Green Rovers.

The Republic of Ireland U21 international halved the deficit in the 78th minute when he volleyed home from inside the box following a free-kick - his second goal in Port Vale's colors. 

Elsewhere, Danish-Nigerian attacker William Osula netted his first senior goals to help Derby County thrash Accrington Stanley 3-0 at Wham Stadium. 

In his first start as a professional, the Sheffield United loanee broke the deadlock with a left-footed finish in the 15th minute and doubled the advantage in the 39th minute with right-footed shot. 

In the League Two, Josh Umerah, who was once teammates with Joe Aribo at Charlton Athletic, continued his red hot form with a consolation for Hartlepool United in their 2-1 loss to Harrogate Town at Wetherby Road,

Five minutes from time, Umerah pulled a goal back for Pools to take his tally to seven goals in his last eleven games in the fourth tier.
