Rasheedat Ajibade: Nigeria striker inspires Avaldsnes comeback at Lillestrom

Rasheedat Ajibade put up another fantastic display as her goal inspired Avaldsnes 3-1's comeback victory over Lillestrom in Friday's Norweigan Toppserien encounter.

The Super Falcons star earned her 14th league start this season in Friday's encounter and her strike was enough to help her side subdue the defending champions for a ninth win of the season.
