Irvine assist helps St Pauli to sixth straight win
Australia's Jackson Irvine registered his first assist of the season as St Pauli claimed a 2-1 win over Greuther Furth in 2. Bundesliga, its sixth straight victory, to boost promotion hopes.
The Socceroos star slid a pass to Manolis Saliakas, who finished expertly in the 13th minute to get the home side back on level terms having gone behind in the sixth minute.
The Hamburg-based club was given a helping hand when Gideon Jung was sent off just before the break, and St Pauli took full advantage, Oladapo Afolayan scoring the winner on 55 minutes to extend his side's unbeaten run to eight games.
