Oghenekaro Etebo scored a stunning lone winning goal as Stoke City recorded a 1-0 away win against Blackburn Rovers in their English Championship clash at the Ewood Park on Saturday, Completesports.com reports.
Etebo fired home wonderful shot from the edge of the box in the 14th minute to hand the Potters all three points in the game.
The Nigeria international who was voted man of the match in Stoke City’s 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend has now scored two goals in 28 Championship appearances for the club.

I beginin to think derby county signed him for training only.
You may just be right.
Derby County has started rendering Ambrose useless.. .
He should start thinking of leaving immediately!
Sometimes it takes a while for a new player to establish them selves in a new team, the tactics, the systems of play and/or get used to their new team mates. Look at Uche herny Agbo. He left Standard Lierge in Belgium in January. His first appearance was on the bench last week, this week he played the last 17 minutes for Rayo Vallecano in Spain.
Not every player goes straight into the starting line up or even the match day squad
which means he is not good enough
