Socceroo attacker Nathan Burns is warming up nicely for this month’s vital FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scoring for his club side FC Tokyo overnight.

Burns sparked his side’s come-from-behind 3-1 win over Binh Duong in the AFC Champions League with an excellent equaliser just after half-time.

A cross from the left was nodded down into Burns path and he allowed the ball to bounce before volleying it past the keeper from close range.

It was an important goal and win for the J-League club after they lost their opening group game last week.

Australian defender Trent Sainsbury’s Jiangsu Suning are in the same ACL group and held on for a 3-2 win over Jeonbuk Motors.

Sainsbury played a full game for the Chinese club, while fellow Aussie Erik Paartalu came off the bench midway through the second half for Jeonbuk.
