Ejide labelled 'match-fixer'

The Scottish FA had been warned that the clash at Craven Cottage could be targeted after an alert by the National Crime Agency, although it went ahead regardless

After the match, speculations zeroed-in on Nigerian goalkeeper Austin Ejide.

Ejide scored a freak own goal against Scotland on Wednesday night, just 24 hours after their friendly was in doubt over match-fixing fears.

The Scottish FA had been warned that the clash at Craven Cottage could be targeted after an alert by the National Crime Agency, although it went ahead regardless.

And after Charlie Mulgrew's sensational opener, the Nigerian stopper came out to collect a cross and seemed able to grab the ball easily.

However, after a collision with Grant Hanley, Ejide lost control and appeared to throw the ball into his net.

Fortunately, referee Lee Probert bailed him out and awarded a free-kick to the Super Eagles, who pulled back to 2-2 following a last minute leveller from substitute, Uche Nwofor.

Footage of the 'own goal' soon made its way onto Twitter, with many suggesting the previous allegations may have had some substance.
