Birthday Boy Chidi Omeje Happy To Score For AFC United

AFC United striker Chidi Omeje marked his 25th birthday by scoring his club&rsquo;s last goal in their 3 - 1 win over Assyriska in the Superettan on Tuesday. <br /><br />In the last ten minutes of the game, referee Antti Kanerva dismissed three AFC United players - Wicks, Elia and El Kabir.<br /><br />They were defending a one - goal lead until the Nigerian popped up with an insurance goal in injury time to secure all three points for the visitors. <br /><br />&ldquo;It means a lot to me because it was my birthday and I feel good that i scored and most importantly that we won against such a strong team with eight men, &rdquo; Omeje said to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />&ldquo;We have played three draws, which I don&rsquo;t think is a bad result judging that we have a lot of new players and we are just getting to know each other better.<br /><br />&ldquo;We are getting better each game which is a great improvement . &rdquo;<br /><br />Following their second win of the young season, undefeated AFC United sit seventh in the standings with 9 points.<br />
