A round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players on target for their foreign clubs in league matches on Saturday, May 4.

Joe Aribo ended the regular season with nine goals in 36 games after registering his name on the scoresheet in Charlton Athletic's 4-0 rout of Rochdale at The Valley.

Nineteen minutes into the contest, the central midfielder curled the ball into the top corner from inside the area, his third goal in three successive games.

Still in the EFL League One, ex-Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo struck in the 35th minute as Plymouth Argyle claimed a 3-2 win vs Scunthorpe United, his 18th league goal.

The former Crystal Palace starlet lashed the ball home with his left foot to double Plymouth Argyle's advantage. With Southend United winning today, the Pilgrims have been demoted from the third-tier of English football.

In the Swedish Allsvenskan, Samuel Nnamani made it three goals in seven games but could not prevent AFC Eskilstuna from losing 2-1 at AIK. The 23-year-old attacker struck in the 55th minute.

Tottenham Hotspur product Nathan Oduwa has taken 14 games in all competition to open his goalscoring account for Israeli side Hapoel Hadera, whom he joined in the January transfer window.

The former Nigeria U23 international halved the deficit in the 79th minute as Hapoel Hadera lost 2-1 at home to Maccabi Netanya.

In the Turkish Super Lig, BB Erzurumspor claimed a 2-0 victory against Abdullahi Shehu's Bursaspor at the Kazım Karabekir Stadyumu (Erzurum), with Super Eagles winger Emem Eduok involved in the two goals scored by the home team.

With 14 minutes left on the clock, Eduok's brilliant left-footed shot from inside the area gave BB Erzurumspor the lead and the supporters celebrated again in the 84th minute when Arslan scored, assisted by the Nigerian.

Finally, in the Latvian top flight, Ventspils narrowly lost to Spartaks Jurmala in a seven-goal thriller.

Ventspils's Tosin Aiyegun had scored from the spot to make it 3-3 on 76 minutes.
