Ideye ends goal drought

Super Eagles forward, Brown Ideye, came off the bench to grab a point for West Bromwich Albion in their 2-2 draw against Burnley in the English Premier League on Sunday.

Club record signing, Ideye, came on for Chris Baird in the 46th minute to score the Baggies second goal in the 67th minute to end his goal drought at the club.

The hosts had taken the lead in the 11th minute through an Ashley Barnes header and had doubled the lead in the 32nd minute through Daniel Ings before Chris Brunt also headed home in the 45th minute to bring the visitors back into the game.
