Australia's Tim Cahill is continuing his reputation as a natural goalscorer in China and paving the way for his attacking compatriots.
Tim Cahill's stunning scoring run for Shanghai Shenhua is changing Australia's reputation in China after the Socceroos striker avoided getting cut in July.
Cahill struck the decisive goal in Shenhua's 2-1 win at Guizhou Renhe on Saturday, stabbing Giovanni Moreno's cutback into the net from 10 yards to notch his eighth goal in 11 Chinese Super League (CSL) matches.
The Australia international's first season in China started badly with the former Everton man taking seven games to open his account, while the arrival of Demba Ba and Momo Sissoko prompted speculation Cahill would be dumped due to the CSL's restrictions on imports.
