English Premier League sides, Chelsea and Arsenal have reacted to Super Eagles victory over Libya in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Both clubs have players who featured in the game. Arsenal had Alex Iwobi while Ola Aina stood in for Chelsea.
The game ended 4-0 with Odion Ighalo netting a hat trick while Kalu Uche ensured maximum points for the Super Eagles.
In their match review, Chelsea stated through their official website, that: ”Ola Aina also started on the bench for Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier but he was introduced into the action much sooner.
”An injury led to our 22-year-old defender, who is currently on-loan in Italy at Torino, coming on after just 18 minutes of a home game against Libya. Nigeria were 1-0 up at that stage and Aina was able to play his part in a clean-sheet performance, with the Super Eagles running out 4-0 winners despite being without our former midfielder and their current captain John Mikel Obi due to injury. Kenneth Omeruo was an unused sub.”
On their part, Arsenal also stated through their official website that: ”Alex Iwobi claimed an assist in Nigeria’s 4-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying win over Libya…
“Iwobi then set up Ighalo’s second with an inch-perfect through ball, with the former Watford striker claiming his hat-trick soon after. ”
