Published: November 27, 2017
The past week saw a number of Nigerians get on the score sheet for their respective club sides while putting in impressive performances as well.
All Nigeria Soccer compiles the team of the best performers in the different leagues thus :
Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United): Akpeyi starred for his South African side as they played out a goalless draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League, though he would eventually come off in the 68th minutes after taking a knock to the neck. The Super Eagles goaltender has kept five clean sheets in his last nine games.
Uche Agbo (Standard Liege): The Super Eagles defender was among the goals as Standard Liege beat Racing Genk 2-0 in the Belgian First Division, doubling his side's advantage on the 81st minute after Paul M'Poku had put the Reds in the lead.
Kenneth Omeruo (Kasimpasa): Kasimpasa had the Chelsea loanee to thank after he popped up with a decisive goal in a 2-1 win against Karabukspor in the Turkish Super League.
The defender was at his defensive best as well in the encounter while logging the full ninety.
Abdullahi Shehu (Anorthosis Famagusta): Shehu was impressive for his side as they were held to a 1-1 draw by AEL Limassol in the Cyproit league. The Super Eagles defender went the entire duration of the game with the point they got keeping them in second spot.
William Troost-Ekong (Bursaspor): The Nigerian was in action as the Green Crocodiles secured a 2-1 win over Karabukspor in the Turkish top-flight. Paul Le Guen's side climbed into fifth on the table after their sixth win of the season.
Joel Obi (Torino): Obi put in a gritty showing in the middle of the park as Sinisa Mihajlovic's men held AC Milan to a goaless draw in the Italian Serie A. The Super Eagles midfielder went the full ninety as well.
Chidiebere Nwakali (Sogndal): The Manchester City youngster struck a fine free kick for Sogndal in a 5-2 thrashing of Valerenga in the Norwegian league. It was his fifth goal in 28th appearances in all competitions for the club who finished the league season in 14th.
Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City): Ndidi was in action as the Foxes shared spoils with West Ham in a 1-1 turnout in the English Premier League, with Cheick Kouyate cancelling out Marc Albrighton's opener. The Super Eagles midfielder was in action for the entirety of the game.
Samuel Eduok (Kasimpasa): The Nigerian was on target as Kasimpasa pipped Karabukspor 2-1 in the Turkish topflight.
The 23-year old opened the scoring for his side before his compatriot, Omeruo scored the winner in stoppage time.
Moses Simon (Gent): The Super Eagles winger netted in The Buffaloes 3-1 win over Royal Excel Mouscron, opening the scoring for his side to render Taiwo Awoniyi's effort for the visitors a mere consolation.
Obafemi Martins (Shanghai Shenhua): Martins inspired his Chinese Super League side to a Chinese FA cup title after notching an effort in a 3-3 aggregate triumph.
