Frank Onyeka was in action as Coventry City secured promotion to the Premier League following a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.
The Super Eagles midfielder played for 62 minutes as Coventry earned the crucial point that confirmed their return to the top flight, with three matches still remaining in the Championship season.
After a goalless first half, Blackburn took the lead in the 54th minute through Ryoya Morishita. Coventry responded by making tactical changes, with manager Frank Lampard introducing fresh legs in search of an equaliser.
The decision paid off late in the game when substitute Victor Torp delivered a fine cross that was headed in by defender Bobby Thomas in the 86th minute to level the score.
Blackburn pushed for a late winner, but Coventry held firm to secure the draw that sealed their long-awaited promotion, marking their return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years.
Onyeka, who joined Coventry on loan from Brentford in January, is now set to feature in the Premier League next season.
