​Onyeka was picked from the start by Frank Lampard for the trip to Ewood Park to take on relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers.

The Sky Blues needed just one point to seal Premier League promotion, and they were odds-on favorites to get the result.

However, Rovers did not make life any easier for them.

Blackburn Rovers scored the opener against the run of play, courtesy of Ryoya Morishita in the 54th minute.

After going down, the Sky Blues failed to show enough bite immediately. This caused coach Frank Lampard to tweak his lineup; hence, he took out Super Eagles star Onyeka in the 63rd minute.

​During his time on the pitch, Onyeka registered 32 passes, 81 percent of which were completed. He also won two tackles and made two clearances.
