Despite Boos, Osaze’s Cardiff Conquers West Brom

Despite being booed by his former employers, controversial Nigerian forward Osaze Odemwingie smiled home after his current side Cardiff City defeated West Bromich Albion 1-o through a Peter Whittingham goal in the 65th minute. The defeat ended Cardiff’s five-match without-a-win streak and condemned West Brom to a fourth-straight defeat.

The defeat culminated in the sack of Steve Clarke who will now be referred to as erstwhile manager of West Brom

Osaze Odemwingie nearly scored through a free-kick but Boaz Myhill managed to force a super-save

The fleet-footed player also had a penalty appeal turned down by Howard Webb when a West Brom player appeared to pull his shirt when he was about to take a decisive final touch inside the box.

Osaze was substituted for Bo-Kyung Kim in the 90th minute.

Cardiff City now lie 14th on the English Premier League table with 17 points from 16 games.
