Lillestr&oslash;m SK are one of the three teams below the red line in the Norwegian Tippeligaen and their 2-1 defeat to Sogndal on Sunday afternoon did not help their cause to beat the drop.<br /><br />Former Nigeria U20 international Ifeanyi Mathew made his first-ever start for the Canaries, and justified the faith reposed in him by manager Kristinsson when he netted in the 69th minute, bringing the scoreline to 1-1.<br /><br />Well informed sources that witnessed the game at the &aring;r&aring;sen Stadion informed this website that Mathew was the best player for Lillestrom in his third appearance in the league since completing his transfer from FC Hearts. <br /><br />The attacking midfielder was on the bench against Viking before he was introduced in the closing minutes against Odd Grenland and Tromso. <br /><br />He is tied to LSK until 2020 and it remains to be seen if he would remain at the club if they are relegated after the next five matches. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br /><br /><br />
