Reading’s Olise, Wycombe’s Onyedinma on target
Three Nigeria-eligible players, Reading’s Michael Olise and Wycombe Wanderers’ Fred Onyedinma, got on the scoresheet on the final day of the 2020-2021 Championship season.
Super Eagles target Reading Olise finished the season with a goal involvement of 19 (7 goals, 12 assists) from 44 games in the division.
The former Chelsea schoolboy slammed into the net from 12 yards after the Royals were awarded a penalty in the 18th minute of their 2-2 draw with Huddersfield Town at the Madejski Stadium.
On 26 minutes, Yakou Meite headed home a cross from Olise to make it 2-1 but they were denied a win after a late equaliser.
Wycombe Wanderers bowed out of the Championship in style, thrashing Middlesbrough 3-0 at the Riverside Stadium.
Lagos-born winger Fred Onyedinma got them on their way in the 14th minute when he poked the ball past the goalkeeper after meeting Tafazolli’s superb through-ball.
