Since his move from Arsenal to Greece in the summer, the 23-year-old has been on the fringe of Razvan Lucescu‘s set-up, with all of his seven appearances for the side coming as a substitute.
On Sunday, he continued with his bit-part role but came off the bench in the 57th minute to put up a man-of-the-match display.
He netted what would be the winner after Nikolaos Marinakis’ own goal had opened the scoring for the hosts in the 63rd minute [three before the Nigeria trainee's effort].
Sierra Leone striker Alhassan Kamara halved the deficit in the 73rd minute, but the Super League table-toppers held on for their ninth win in the league this season.
PAOK play Ergotelis in a Cup encounter on Wednesday, and the former Sint-Truiden attacker will hope to have done enough to get his full debut.
