Frank Onyeka, a midfielder for the Super Eagles, scored his inaugural goal for Brentford during their 2-0 victory against Sheffield United at the Brentford Community Stadium.
Blades' young player Oliver Arblaster unfortunately scored an own goal just after the hour mark, putting Thomas Frank's team in the lead by inadvertently redirecting Mikkel Damsgaard's cross into the far corner.
Substitute Frank Onyeka secured the victory in stoppage time as the Bees climbed to 14th place, seven points ahead of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Sheffield United stays at the bottom and edges closer to an immediate return to the Championship.
Chris Wilder’s team is currently 10 points away from avoiding relegation with only six games left to play.
The away team had a strong start as Ben Brereton Diaz broke free down the left, but he missed the shot when faced with Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
Brentford quickly gained control of the game, but despite having most of the possession, they struggled to create many scoring opportunities. Neal Maupay missed their best chance of the first half by stabbing the ball wide after United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic gave the ball away in his own half.
