EPL Wrap: Abraham On Fire, Moses & Success Crocked, Iwobi Starts, Ibe Subbed In
Published: October 14, 2017
A round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the English Premier League on Saturday, October 14.
Nigerian players with dual nationalities that have played competitively for the senior national teams of other countries have been omitted.
In the early kickoff, Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by Liverpool at Anfield. England U21 star Dominic Solanke played the last three minutes for the home team.
Reds youngsters Ovie Ejaria and Bobby Adekanye were absent and same goes for Manchester United duo Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde.
Defending champs Chelsea are nine points off the pace after suffering their third defeat of the season to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, and to add salt to their wound Victor Moses subbed out with an apparent injury in the 40th minute.
An Azpilicueta own goal gave the Eagles the lead on 11 minutes, Bakayoko leveled it seven minutes later and Wilfried Zaha netted what proved to be the game-winner just before half-time.
Crystal Palace's Nigerian striker Freddie Ladapo was not involved at all despite training with the first team this week.
The most entertaining team in the division Manchester City thrashed Stoke City 7-2 without England youth-teamer Tosin Adarabioyo making the match day squad.
Gabriel Jesus (2), Sterling, David Silva, Fernandinho, Leroy Sané and Bernardo Silva were on target for the league leaders, while Diouf and a Kyle Walker own goal reduced the deficit.
Nigeria target Tammy Abraham has scored four of Swansea City's five goals in the English top-flight after firing a brace in their 2-0 win over newcomers Huddersfield Town.
The England U21 star put in a full shift at the Liberty Stadium.
Another Nigeria target Jordon Ibe played the last fifteen minutes of Bournemouth's 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley. A Christian Eriksen goal two minutes into the second half was enough for Spurs to secure three points.
In the late kick off, Alex Iwobi starts at the Vic in Arsenal's clash against Watford, who are without the injured Isaac Success and Stefano Okaka. Chuba Akpom also misses out for the London team.
