Singapore striker Ikhsan Fandi continued his rich vein of form with new club FK Jerv by scoring his second goal in as many starts during their 2-1 win over Ullensaker/Kisa IL yesterday morning (Singapore time).

The 21-year-old was a threat with his physical presence, constantly winning headers in the box to set up his teammates. He also had early opportunities to score, but hit the side netting and had a header which was collected by the goalkeeper.

But Ikhsan was not to be denied in the 48th minute, timing his run to head in a cross from the right by Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo to pave the way for a slender victory.

The visitors equalised through Elias Solberg in the 89th minute, but Simon Andreas Larsen bagged an injury-time winner for Jerv's fourth win on the trot, sending them up to seventh in the 16-team Norwegian second division.

Ikhsan was playing in only his third game for his new club, after joining from Raufoss IL on Oct 5.

He had made a cameo in a 3-2 win over HamKam on Oct 7, before opening his account in his first start as Jerv beat his former club 4-2 last Saturday.
