Nigeria - born striker Innocent Emeghara is enjoying a new lease of life with Siena, a club he joined on loan during the January transfer window.

Emeghara , now the idol of the fans, netted a brace in Siena's 3 - 0 surprise win over Lazio on Monday night.

He said in his post match comments: ''Of course I'm happy that I scored two goals against Lazio. As a striker, it is always great to score goals, but the main thing - the result of the team.

''Despite the score, the match was difficult, because Lazio have several very good players. ''

The 23 - year - old has now scored 4 goals in his last 3 matches in the Italian championship.

AC Siena can purchase Emeghara outright when his loan deal expires in the next four months. He has contractual obligations with Lorient until June, 2015.
