Middlesbrough and Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, broke his duck for Middlesbrough today, drawing them level in their Sky Bet Championship game against Oxford United.
Oxford went ahead against the run of play in the 38th minute through Michal Helik, a lead they held on to till half time to unsettle the Riverside crowd.
Kelechi Iheanacho stepped up just after the restart to fire past Mark Travers in goal for Oxford United to draw Middlesbrough level and break his goal-scoring drought, which had been on for 114 days.
Middlesbrough will eventually get the winner through Borges in the 80th minute to deliver victory to the Riverside.
Kelechi Iheanacho will be looking to improve his goal-scoring tally and repay the trust placed in him by gaffer Michael Carrick. Kelechi will also be hoping to work up a decent enough run of form to regain his place in Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles, a place he lost in the just concluded World Cup qualifying series.
I’m happy for him. Let’s hope it becomes one of many
