Awoniyi breaks Union Berlin duck in Cologne victory

Taiwo Awoniyi scored his first goal for Union Berlin in their 2-1 win over Cologne in a German Bundesliga encounter on Sunday.

After five games in the German top-flight this season, the Nigeria youth international finally broke his duck in Berlin since he joined on a season-long loan from Premier League champions Liverpool in the summer.

Three minutes before the half hour-mark, Awoniyi dusted off challenges from Cologne defenders to break the deadlock after shooting from close range.

The strike was his second goal in the Bundesliga, having previously scored a goal against the same opponent during his loan stint at Mainz 05 last season.
