Michael Olunga scored twice as his current club Djurgardens got back to its winning ways with a 2-1 away victory against former Sweden champions Helsingborg.

The Kenyan International hit the net in the 31st minute, finding the back of an empty goal post outside after a defensive mix-up from their hosts. The home side drew level in the 66th minute when Peter Larsson headed home to send the home fans into a frenzy.

Olunga however restored his team's lead just a minute later leaping above his two markers to head home the game's third goal which proved to be the winner. The result saw Djugarden end a run of two straight loses in the league.

The forward will however miss his side’s next league assignment against BK Hacken after picking his third yellow card towards the end of the match.

Olunga is the club’s leading goalscorer with 10 goals in 26 appearances.
