Nigeria's Paul Onuachu scores twice to help Midtjylland secure comeback win

Paul Onuachu scored twice to help Midtjylland secure a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Nordsjaelland in Monday's Danish Superliga encounter.

The lanky forward had not scored since contributing two goals in his side's 4-0 win over OB Odense in a Danish Cup encounter early this month.

On Monday, he was crucial to his side's win away at Nordsjaelland, scoring the equaliser and the winner.

The visitors fell behind to a Jonathan Amon's 19th-minute strike, but five minutes after the restart, Onuachu responded with a volleyed finish.

The 24-year-old then took his season tally to 20 goals across all competitions - including 16 league goals in 28 league outings - with the winner, coming via a header after the hour mark.
