Tuesday night was a bitter sweet one for controversial Nigerian striker, Peter Odemwingie who scored for Cardiff City, the club he joined on transfer deadline day from West Bromwich Albion.
.
The forward scored late in the second half in City's 2-3 loss to West Ham United at Upton Park as the Bluebirds crashed out of the Capital One Cup. Odemwingie's finish in the 76th minute had temporarily pegged scores at 2-2 but Ricardo Vaz Te's finish two minutes from time stuck a dagger in Cardiff hearts.
.
The Nigerian who endured a difficult last six months at WBA will however be pleased with his goal as he got to the end of Jordan Mutch's cross to finish with his left foot from close range.
.
It was his first goal for City following his acrimonious departure from the Hawthorns and he duly took to Twitter to discuss his performance in the five-goal thriller.
Osaze Odemwingie has done really well when it comes to goals so I'm shocked. He is a natural goalscorer!
