Premier League Wrap:Ojo Shines On First Start For Liverpool; Alli Hits Eighth Goal;Ibe&Onomah Not Involved

Catch up on the performances of players of Nigerian descent in the English Premier League on Sunday.

England youth international Sheyi Ojo made his first ever start for Liverpool in their 4-1 rout of Stoke City at Anfield. The winger notched an assist in the 32nd minute when he ghosted past his marker before crossing for Sturridge to head in.

While the 18-year-old was withdrawn at half time, there was no place in the squad for the Reds number 33 Jordon Ibe.

Tottenham Hotspur have closed the gap on leaders Leicester City thanks to their 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Three Lions rising star Dele Alli found the back of the net in the 70th minute, his eighth league goal in a Spurs shirt, then was substituted in the third minute of stoppage time. He was booked a minute earlier.

The young midfielder Josh Onomah was not involved for the Londoners. It would have been his eighth appearance in the EPL if he was given a run out.
