West Bromwich Albion maintained their unbeaten start to the season in the English Championship with a 1-0 win over Plymouth Argyle to make it five wins out of six which keeps them at the top of the table, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The win was secured thanks to a 62 minute goal by Nigerian forward Josh Maja who has had a blistering start to the season with six goals and one assit in six games. It is the best run ever of his career so far.
25 year old Maja has already surpassed his last season’s tally in just six games this season, as he scored just once in 12 games last term out largely due to injury and fitness issues following his return from a long injury lay off.
Capped once by Nigeria in 2019 when he played the final minute of the 2-2 draw against Ukraine under then coach of the Nigeria team Gernot Rohr. If he continues his fine run in front of goal, a call up might be a possibility.
He will however face an uphill task as he currently has the like of Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Sadiq Umar and Cyriel Dessers ahead of him in the pecking order.
