Two Nigerian-born lads have set tongues wagging in the lower division leagues of England, as Daniel Udoh and Elijah Adebayo both popped into the spotlight with well-taken goals for their respective teams, megasportsarena.com reports.
While Udoh was on song for Shrewsbury Town in League One, Adebayo made hay in the English Championship, where his late sizzler for Luton Town helped his side romp back from two goals down to win 3-2 against Sheffield Wednesday, who had Osaze Urhoghide in their squad.
Adebayo, who has two goals and one assist since joining Luton in the winter transfer market, made no mistake at the far post with only four minutes left on the clock, as he was set up by Harry Cornick, then provided a crucial assist for Ryan Tunnicliffe to make it 2-2 just before the hour mark.
Conversely, Udoh’s late goal could not help Shrewsbury to victory, as they lost 2-1 to Bristol Rovers in an English League One clash at Memorial Stadium in Gloucestershire, where the former Golden Eaglets invitee halved the deficit when he tapped home in the 92nd minute.
While Udoh took his tally for the season to four goals across all competitions, Carlisle United whiz-kid, Joshua Kayode made it two goals across same number of games in League Two, but he still ended up on the losing side.
The lad on loan from Rotherham United gave his very best but it was simply not good enough, as his team got beaten 3-1 by Oldham Athletic, even as Kayode struck after 35 minutes, who he put in a well-placed drive to the corner to give his side an advantage they failed to keep till the end.
