Out - of - favour Super Eagles attacker Peter Utaka broke his seven - month goal drought in the Chinese Super League in the 13th round of matches as Beijing Guoan thrashed Hangzhou 4 - 0 on Wednesday.

The 30 - year - old came off the bench in the 63rd minute, and two minutes later netted his first goal of the season.

His last goal in the Championship came at the end of October, in the 3 - 1 away win over Shandong Luneng.
