Football statistics website Whoscored.com has unveiled its Team of the Week for the latest round of matches in the Scottish Premiership, with two Nigerian players making the Best XI.

Heart of Midlothian right-back Daniel Oyegoke and Dundee United winger Meshack Ubochioma earned spots in the Team of the Week following their outstanding performances for their respective clubs. 

In a five-goal thriller at CalForth Construction Arena at Tannadice Park, Dundee United netted two goals in stoppage time to come from behind to beat Hibernian 3-2, with Ubochioma grabbing the game-winning goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Ubochioma who entered the game as a substitute in the 86th minute, lofted the ball over the Hibernian goalkeeper to score his first goal for Dundee United. 

At Tynecastle Park, Arsenal youth product Oyegoke netted his first goal as a professional as Hearts thrashed  St. Mirren FC 4-0.

Two minutes into the second half, Oyegoke found space outside the box and delivered a stunning curling shot that sailed into the back of the net.
