Kenyan international Clarke Oduor came off the bench to score as his team Barnsley beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in the second friendly ahead of the new season.He was making his second appearance from the bench after featuring for 45 minutes in the previous pre-season game against Rochdale where he was terrific with the ball and gave the opposing defenders a hard time.Markus Schopp rang the substitutions at the second half, changing the whole team with Oduor being part of the 11 that were entrusted to do duty in the final 30 minutes.Clarke Oduor finishes off a wonderful move!Clarkie skips past two, then plays a one-two with Cameron Thompson before slotting home.Brilliant football! 👏🅱️ 2 – 0 🦉 [70′]— Barnsley FC (@BarnsleyFC) July 17, 2021 His effort and brilliance paid off just 10 minutes after he was brought in as he was on the end of a beautiful Barnsley interplay to slot in the second goal.The Kenyan went past two Wednesday players before playing some beautiful one-two football with Cameron Thompson before slotting home to extend Barnsley’s lead to 2-0.The 22-year old Oduor almost grabbed his brace and Barnsley’s third at the death after yet another scintillating show that saw George Miller’s deep cross headed down for him by Ben Williams, but the former Leeds United U23 saw his shot deflects comfortably for Wednesday’s goalkeeper to gather.Jordan Williams catches the Wednesday ‘keeper out from 20+ yards!
