Liverpool Loanee Ojo Dedicates Goal For Cardiff City To Ivory Coast International Bamba

Published: January 28, 2021

Cardiff City ended a five-game losing streak as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Barnsley in a Championship clash staged at the Oakwell Stadium on Wednesday night.

The Bluebirds had to come from behind to earn a point, scoring through Sheyi Ojo and Kieffer Moore in the 58th and 68th minute respectively.

Twelve minutes into the second half, the Liverpool loanee grabbed the first goal of the Mick McCarthy era when Murphy's ball into the box was diverted into the net.

Ojo has impressed since his loan move to Cardiff City and his strike against Barnsley took his goal involvement to nine (4 goals, 5 assists) in 25 Championship games.

The winger has dedicated his most recent goal to Ivory Coast international Sol Bamba who has started a course of chemotherapy treatment after he was confirmed to be suffering from cancer.

Writing on Instagram, Ojo said : "@solbamba we fight with you brother.. that Goal was for you🙏🏽 @cardiffcityfc".

2017 U20 World Cup winner Ojo has taken in loan spells at Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Reims, Rangers and Cardiff City since joining Liverpool.
