Onyeka on target as Brentford rally to beat Valencia

The 23-year-old Super Eagle opened his account for the Bees as they saw off the visiting Spanish side in a pre-season friendly

Nigeria international Frank Onyeka grabbed his first goal for promoted side Brentford as they came from behind to beat Valencia 2-1 in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

The 23-year-old, who came on as a substitute at the start of the second half, scored the winner for the Premier League outfit after Ethan Pinnock had cancelled out Valencia’s 29th-minute opener courtesy of Diego Lopez at Brentford Community Stadium.

It was the visiting side who started the game on a high note and they took the lead in the 29th minute when Lopez evaded defender Kristoffer Ajer, who was signed from Celtic, before slotting the ball past Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
