Aluko siblings lift teams- sports

Hull City striker Sone Aluko and England
women’s forward Eniola Aluko made it a
family affair on Saturday with goals in
their team’s respective victories.
Eniola, who plays for Chelsea in the
English women’s Super League, scored
her country’s last goal in a 6-0 rout of
Belarus in their opening World Cup
qualifier in Bournemouth.
And just hours later, former Glasgow
Rangers and Aberdeen star Sone bagged
the first Premier League goal of his career
to give Hull a 3-2 win at Newcastle.
He steered an inch-perfect 76th-minute
volley past Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul
to spark a wild touchline jig of joy from
Tigers boss Steve Bruce as the visitors
twice came from behind to secure their
second win of the season.
“Obviously very happy to score 1st
Premiership winning goal! Happy big sis
scored for England today too in their win!
Proud of u sis!” Sone tweeted after the
match.
Eniola, 26, was born in Lagos, Nigeria,
while Sone, 24, was born in west London,
yet it is the older sister who represents
England and the brother who plays for
Nigeria at international level, even though
he turned out for England in the
Under-16 to Under-19 age groups.
Eniola, who also played for Great Britain
at the 2012 Olympics in London, was
delighted to hear Sone had made it a
dream day for the pair.
“Nice to get off to a winning start to our
WC qualifying. Lovely 6-0 win. Just heard
Sone Aluko bagged his 1st prem goal too!
Good Day,” she tweeted.
