Cambridge United's MOTM Uche Loses Tooth, Rushed To The Dentist

Cambridge United won their tenth game in the League Two this season, beating Crewe Alexandra 3-1 at Abbey Stadium on Saturday, but it came at a cost with former Nigeria U23 invitee Uche Ikpeazu rushed to the dentist immediately after the game.

The striker is having his best season since he turned professional and took his tally for the season to ten goals in all competitions after finding the net in the 70th minute off an assist from Nigerian winger David Amoo.

Ikpeazu might be battered and bruised but he remained in high spirits; he was officially picked as Man of the Match against his former club, whom he had three spells with on loan from Watford.

The 22-year-old posted on Twitter:''A missing tooth, a bust lip, a goal, 3 points and double figures for the season! All worth it. See you all in 2018!⚽️ #CamUTD''.

The London-born Ikpeazu was on the radar of Dream Team VI coach Samson Siasia before the 2016 Olympic Games but club duties prevented him from linking up with the squad.

He has also played for Reading, Doncaster Rovers, Port Vale and Blackpool.
