Nwakaeme's winning goal steers Trabzonspor to third Super Lig win in a row

The Nigeria international maintained his fine start to the season with another effort that secured maximum points for the Black Sea Storm in Giresun

Anthony Nwakaeme scored the winning goal as Trabzonspor defeated Giresunspor 1-0 in Sunday's Turkish Super Lig match.

The 32-year-old has enjoyed a great start to the 2021-22 season, scoring at least a goal in each of the Black Sea Storm's first three league matches.

Following Thursday's 3-0 loss to Roma in the Uefa Europa Conference League play-offs, Nwakaeme got Abdullah Avci's men back to winning ways with his goal.
