Super Eagles striker scores first goal in 2 years

The former Cologne striker played in the 2013 Confederations Cup and has had a club career of ups and downs

It has taken Anthony Ujah two year to hit the mark again and it is one of the biggest stories of the day.

A brilliant forward on his day, injuries limited the extent of Ujah’s reach and they have pegged him back. With Eintracht Braunschweig, Ujah may have rediscovered his form and is back to scoring goals.

In Braunschweig’s 4-2 win against Nurnberg, Ujah scored a brace and assisted one of the goals.

The last time Ujah scored was a goal against Fortuna Düsseldorf on the 27th of June 2020.

He has made 5 appearances this season and  Braunschweig are also getting their first win in seven games.

Ujah, Taiwo Awoniyi and Abubakar Abdullahi were together at Union Berlin last season but all three players have now left the Iron Ones on permanent moves.
