Nigerian exports: Genk's Arokodare, Bromley's Sowunmi, Bristol Rovers' Omochere in red-hot form

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players who scored or assited for their respective clubs during the Boxing Day games across various leagues in Europe on Boxing Day. 

While Super Eagles stars in the Premier League struggled to find the net, several players in the lower leagues delivered impressive performances.

In the EFL Championship, former Arsenal midfielder Femi Azeez played for Millwall in a tense match against Norwich City. Despite Azeez's efforts, Millwall fell to a 2-1 defeat.

Azeez did manage to provide an assist for Romain Esse, who reduced the deficit, but it was ultimately just a consolation goal as Norwich held on for the win.

In League One, Promise Omochere registered his fourth goal of the season for Bristol Rovers, although it wasn't enough to secure a result against Exeter City, who triumphed 3-1.

Omochere opened the scoring shortly after the hour mark, but Exeter responded emphatically with three goals, securing their victory.

21-year-old Baba Adeeko also made his mark in League One, scoring a crucial goal for Wigan Athletic in their away match against Rotherham.

Adeeko's strike just before halftime ensured Wigan clinched a hard-fought 1-0 victory, marking his first goal of the season in 20 appearances.

In League Two, Omar Sowunmi continued his fine form, scoring in Bromley's 5-2 rout of Newport County.

The 29-year-old opened the scoring in the 27th minute, contributing to a dominant performance that saw Bromley secure all three points.

Sowunmi's tally now stands at four goals and one assist in 22 appearances.

Belgium's Pro League witnessed a standout performance from Tolu Arokodare, who netted a brace for KRC Genk in their 2-2 draw against Antwerp.

Arokodare equalized twice, scoring in the 12th and 51st minutes, showcasing his impressive form with 14 goals in all competitions this season.

Lastly, Promise David was instrumental in Union Saint Gilloise's 3-1 victory over KAA Gent.

The 23-year-old scored the opener in the 30th minute. David's goal marked his ninth of the season in just 19 appearances.
