'I'm back doing my favourite thing' - Dijon striker Oparanozie on winning return

Desire Oparanozie has expressed joy over her winning return to the pitch with Dijon following a 2-1 triumph on her debut over Servette Chenois.

The Nigeria international joined the French outfit in June, having brought to an end her six-year journey with rivals Guingamp since arriving from Turkish side Atasehir Belediyespor in 2014.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a good spell, scoring 45 goals in 106 appearances, and was named captain for the 2019-20 season, leading them to a Cup semi-final before the Covid-19 outbreak.

Last season, she also scored six goals in 12 outings in all competitions, including a 40m stunner against Paris for Guingamp before teaming up with Dijon in June after the league cancellation.
