Nigeria's Odemwingie scores twice in Stoke's 3-1 win over West Ham
It's
time for Odemwingie's return. Nigerian international Peter
Odemwingie scored twice as stoke came from behind to beat West Ham
3-1, moving Stoke city far awar from relegation dange in the EPL on
Saturday.
Andy Carrol headed in his first goal since April to give
West Ham a perfect start and a lead earlier in the first-half of the
game. In the 32nd minue, Peter Crouch's acrobatic effort
to strike the shoulder of Odemwingie gave Stoke their first goal in
the game, all in the same half. Catching up in the second half of the
game, Mark Arnautovic help put Stoke ahead in the 69th
minute as Odemwingie again finished a counter attack with a powerful
shot from an acute angle with only 11 minutes left in the game.
Odemwingie has continued to impress his new side ever since his
arrival in January from Cardiff.
Speaking
on his recent performance, Stoke Manager, Mark Huges said
"In those
situations you are going to raise your arm because he was trying to
get above Andy Carroll. It probably did catch his elbow but he wasn't
even looking in that direction.
"If it had
gone against us we would have still won. We were the better team."
On Stoke's first
goal he added: "It was a bit of a scramble.
"Peter
Crouch did really well to get it towards goal. But Peter Odemwingie
is a striker and he will claim it. I would if I was in his position.
With
the results of the game (Stoke 3-1 West Ham), Stoke have moved into
the top half while West Ham are six points clear of the relegation
zone.
