OBINNA NSOFOR ENDS EPL GOAL DROUGHT
FOOTBALL
Nigeria striker, Victor Obinna Nsofor put up a five-star performance for West Ham Saturday evening at the Upton Park grabbing his their first Premier goal as the Hammers secured their second win of the season courtesy of a 3-1 demolition of Wigan Athletic.
The pacy goal-getter on-loan from European Champions, Inter Milan, drilled a low strike into the bottom corner of Wigan’s goal in the 56th minute, after receiving a beautiful pass from Frederic Piquiunne.
Obinna striker was the second for the basement club, following Valon Behrami 34th minute strike which cooled frayed nerves at the stadium following the side’s indifferent run so far this season.
He later turned provider in the 75th minute, supplying an inch perfect cross into the six-yard box which Scott Parker crashed past Al Habsi to make it three goals on the night for the Hammers.
The victory was a much needed boost for the Avram Grant tutored side who were comprehensively beaten by Liverpool last weekend and have been experiencing series of losses in the league.
No wonder the match was billed by the West Ham board as the “save our season game,” although Grant rallied the club supporters to get behind the team prior to kick-off.

Grant relegated England striker, Carlton Cole, to the bench after the latter labelled last week’s defeat at Liverpool as “diabolical” keeping faith with Obinna and Piquionne.
He was repaid back with Obinna scoring a goal and setting up one, in a heart warming display that has been synomous with him since joining the club this summer.
The erstwhile Chievo Verona of Italy player has made 16 appearances in all competitions for West Ham, scoring three goals with 2 assists.
