Allnigeriasoccer.com reviews the performance of players of Nigerian descent in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe played the last 26 minutes of West Brom’s goalless draw with Aston Villa at the The Hawthorns. That was his fourth appearance in the league this term.
Former England striker Gabby Agbonhlahor remains out of favour at Aston Villa, having missed their last 8 games in the top-flight.
Odion Ighalo returned to scoring ways in Watford’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United. The Super Eagles star opened scoring one minute out of intermission for the Hornets.
The 26-year-old went the distance at Vicarage Road while teammate Ikechi Anya was an unused substitute.
Peter Odemwingie hopped off the bench in the 71st minute in Stoke City’s 3-0 loss to table-toppers Leicester City. He has not netted in the EPL since May 3rd, 2014.
Over to Selhurst Park, Tottenham Hotspur continued to maintain their push for a Champions League spot thanks to their 3-1 away win over Crystal Palace.
With the game tied at 1-1, Dele Alli scored a beauty, volleying in from the edge of the box after flicking the ball past Jedinak.
The teenager played the entirety of the contest whereas Josh Onomah presumably watched from the stands.
In the high-scoring game at Carrow Road, Jordon Ibe was substituted in the 59th minute as his team Liverpool dug deep to win Norwich City 5-4.
In the late kickoff between West Ham and Manchester City, both Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho started from the bench.
