 Nigerian Exports: Sheyi Ojo, Uche Ikpeazu, Semi Ajayi, Chuks Aneke On Target In England
Round up on the Nigerian players that were on target for their respective clubs in England on Saturday, December 23.

In the Championship, Liverpool loanee Sheyi Ojo continues to impress for Fulham, with the winger netting his fourth goal in six matches as the Cottagers beat Ike Ugbo's Barnsley 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

Ojo gave the Fulham supporters a Christmas present when his cross from the right went over goalkeeper Adam Davies and in off the back-post after 72 minutes.

In the League One, Rotherham United beat Milton Keynes Dons 2-1 at New York Stadium, with two Arsenal products finding the net.

Chuks Aneke curled home a beautiful free-kick to open the scoring for MK Dons in the 9th minute, but the lead lasted only 12 minutes with defender Semi Ajayi writing his name on the score-sheet off an assist from Yates.

A division lower, ex-Dream Team VI invitee Uche Ikpeazu fired Cambridge United into the lead five minutes before half-time in his team's 3-3 draw with Notts County at Meadow Lane.

Ikpeazu is having a banner season, his strike against Notts County means he has now scored nine goals in all competitions, which is a personal scoring record for the former Watford starlet.
