EPL wrap : Iheanacho, Onomah benched; big loss for Onyeka; Tosin returns to starting XI
Published: October 23, 2022Allnigeriasoccer.com's review of the Nigeria-eligible players that were in action for their respective Premier League clubs on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
Starting off at the Saint Mary's Stadium. Joe Aribo was in action for 73 minutes for Southampton in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
The Saints came from behind to earn a point as Stuart Armstrong's 65th minute effort canceled out Granit Xhaka's early opener.
England youth international of Nigerian descent Samuel Edozie entered the fray with ten minutes of normal time remaining.
Moving to Villa Park. Frank Onyeka was unable to save Brentford from slipping to an emphatic 4-0 loss to Aston Villa.
The Nigerian midfielder started the game but ended up playing just 45 minutes.
Goals from Leon Bailey, Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings (2) were enough to give Villa a win.
And at the Molineux Stadium, Kelechi Iheanacho was an unused substitute in Leicester City's big away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wilfred Ndidi is still recovering from injury and wasn't considered for selection.
Brendan Rodgers' men won for the third time this season courtesy of goals from Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Harvey Banes and Jamie Vardy.
At Elland Road, Tosin Adarabioyo played the full game as Fulham registered a 3-2 road win over Leeds United.
The central defender was making his first start for the Cottagers in three games, after he was a non-playing substitute in back-to-back matches against Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
After Rodrigo opened the scoring for the home team, goals from Aleksandar Mitrović, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Willian put the Londoners 3-1 up before Crysencio Summerville netted a late goal for Leeds United.
2017 FIFA U20 World Cup winner Josh Onomah received his third call-up for a Premier League game this season but remained rooted to the bench.
