Wu strikes again to silence critics

Wu Lei silenced the doubters after his second goal in La Liga ended a lean spell for the Chinese striker on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old has impressed with his all-round game in Spain's top flight since arriving at Espanyol from Shanghai SIPG in January, but forwards are ultimately judged on their strike rate.

With just one goal to his credit before Wednesday's visit by Celta Vigo, some had begun to wonder if the China international was up to the task.
