Ola Aina opens Serie A goal account in Torino win over Udinese

Chelsea loanee Ola Aina scored his first Serie A goal to give Torino 1-0 victory over Udinese on Sunday.

The 22-year-old connected with Cristian Ansaldi's cross with a header in the 31st minute to give Walter Mazzarri's side the only goal at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

The goal was the Nigerian's second career effort after the match-winning goal in Hull City's FA Cup win over Blackburn Rover last January.

Despite the visitors' threats, Torino held on to the first-half lead to seal their eighth league win of the season after Udinese saw two goals disallowed and Rodrigo de Paul misplacing his penalty in the second 45 minutes.
