4 goals in 3 games: Super Eagles star nets winner as Stoke falls to West Brom; Dessers brace fires 6-star Rangers

Josh Maja continued his excellent form for West Bromwich Albion, scoring the decisive goal in their 2-1 victory over Stoke City in the Championship, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigerian forward’s strike ensured the Baggies claimed all three points at the Bet365 Stadium.

The match saw West Brom take the lead in the 18th minute, with Karlan Grant finding the net for the visitors.

However, Stoke City responded quickly, equalizing just ten minutes later through Lewis Koumas.

The contest remained finely balanced until Maja stepped up to deliver the winning goal in the 31st minute.

Darnell Furlong set up Tom Fellows, who provided the crucial pass to Maja. The Super Eagles striker then guided a precise shot into the bottom corner, restoring West Brom’s advantage.

It is Maja’s fourth goal in just three league games, following his impressive hat-trick on the opening day of the season.

Meanwhile, Cyriel Dessers was also in the spotlight as he led Rangers to a resounding 6-0 victory over Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.

Dessers opened the scoring in the 18th minute, calmly slotting the ball past the Ross County goalkeeper after receiving a pass from Tom Lawrence.

Rangers extended their lead just before halftime through Rabbi Matondo, and Dessers added his second of the match in the 58th minute, again benefiting from Matondo’s assist.

The Light Blues’ dominance was further emphasized with goals from Lawrence, Matondo, and a late strike from Danilo, sealing a comprehensive win for Philippe Clement’s side.
