After a decent performance during the week in Europe, the Nigerian International began Sunday’s game against St Mirren on the bench, but he came in with the game at 1-1.
He quickly made an impact and scored the winning goal to earn the Gers the three points.

The second goal shows the hunger and passion Cyriel has to win games, and he gives everything for that, I’m really happy”.
