Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the English Premier League on Saturday, March 7.

In the early kickoff, champions-in-waiting Liverpool came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1.

Former Denmark U21 international Philip Billing played through the pain barrier in the closing minutes after taking a whack to his back and he was joined on the pitch by Liverpool old boy Dominic Solanke at minute 68, while Jordon Ibe was not in the 18.

Callum Wilson's ninth minute opener was cancelled out by Mohamed Salah on 25 minutes, before Sadio Mane scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 33rd minute.

In a London derby at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against West Ham thanks to substitute Alexandre Lacazette's 78th minute goal.

Bukayo Saka played at left-back for the umpteenth time since the start of this calendar year and the England U19 international was on from start to finish.

Let's go to Selhurst Park in London. Jordan Ayew's 28th minute goal was enough for Crystal Palace to secure a win and three points against Watford.

Super Eagles striker Isaac Success and Nigeria U23 midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru remain out of favour at the Hornets and were not in the matchday squad.

At Bramall Lane, Republic of Ireland U21 international Adam Idah played the last three minutes of Norwich City's 1-0 loss to Sheffield United.

Billy Sharp's sublime diving header in the 36th minute separated the two teams, giving the Blades their eleventh win in the division.
