Former Nigeria international striker Chinedu Obasi scored the lone goal for Bolton Wanderers U23s to hand them a 1-0 win over their Burnley counterparts in a youth league game.
Obasi is on trial with the Championship side, few years after failing to bag a deal after trials at Sunderland, but this time around he has done his chances a whole lot of good with the winner he scored last night.
On as a substitute, it took him few minutes to make his mark with a well taken drive which ended as the lone goal of the game, and also the winner for his team in the game which is a test game to see his level of fitness and abilities.
Last season he has an unhappy spell in China with second division side Shenzhen during the first half of the season before returning back to Sweden where he rejoined AIK and scored five times from the nine games he played.
