Odemwingie scores first league goal in nine months as Cardiff lose at home

The Nigerian international scored in the league
on Saturday making it two goals in 11 days
even as the Welsh side lost again to the
Magpies
Super Eagles striker Peter Odemwingie scored
his first English Premier League goal since
January 19 in their 2-1 defeat to Newcastle on
Saturday.
The Nigerian started his first league match for
the BlueBirds on Saturday against Newcastle at
the Cardiff City Stadium and scored the
consolation goal after the Magpies raced
ahead.
Newcastle went ahead in the 30th minute and
doubled their lead eight minutes later – both
goals scored by their on-loan striker from
QPR, Loic Remy.
Cardiff raised their game in the second half
but Odemwingie’s goal was all they had to
show for their endeavour.
Odemwingie got his goal by selling a dummy to
the advancing Tim Krul before scoring his first
Premier League goal for his new club.
Odemwingie successfully completed two
dribbles, had 66% pass accuracy from 54
touches and won all his aerial duels. He also
had one shot that was the only goal for Cardiff
and Nicky Maynard  replaced him in the 81st
minute.
