Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike continued his impressive goal scoring form on Saturday as he scored in Fenerbache’s 3-2 away win over Taye Taiwo’s club Bursaspor in a Turkish Super Lig game at the Bursa Atatürk Stadium on Saturday night.
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi on Sunday named Emenike in his 25-man squad to face Ethiopia in the return leg World Cup playoff in Calabar on November 16.
The South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner, who scored a brace for the Eagles against Ethiopia in the first leg in Addis Ababa on October 13, has netted 10 times in 18 international appearances for Nigeria.
Emenike scored in 83rd minute to put Fenerbache in the lead for the first time in the game after Pierre Webo had earlier equalised Kerhat Firaz’s first half opener.
Egemen Korkmaz scored on the 90th minute to extend the visitors lead, however Pablo Batalla pulled a goal back for Bursaspor a minute later, but the hosts were unable to force an equalizer.
Emenike has successively found the back of the net in his last three games to help Fenerbahce to the top of the Super Lig table on 25 points from 10 matchess.
Out-of-favour Eagles defender Taiwo played the entire duration of the game for Bursaspor.
Twenty-six-year-old Emenike, who joined Fenerbahce from Spartak Moscow in a €15m deal in the summer, has scored four goals so far for the The Yellow Cannaries.
