Kalu’s Third Goal Takes Bordeaux Up To 11th

Girondins-Bordeaux of France winger, Samuel Kalu is relishing the value of his third goal of the season in Ligue 1, as his effort helped his side move up to 11th position on the log.

Sports247.ng gathered that Kalu was on target for the second time under a week, and his goal helped Bordeaux win 2-1 away to Angers in a match day 17 rescheduled fixture.

The 20-year-old former KAA Gent of Belgium winger also started his 11th league match of the season, in which he has three goals from 15 matches and an assist to show in helping his side garner 25 points from 19 games.

Kalu showed his depth in positioning, as he reacted quickest to a Maxime Poundje cross to put the visitors ahead on the hour.

Kalu was replaced by Tomas Basic before Yann Karamoh ensured the win for Bordeaux when he struck two minutes into added time.
