Ahmed Musa, Iwobi the hero's as Eagles make light work of Togo


The Super Eagles have concluded their 2017 France camping exercise with a 3 - 0 win over Togo.
Gernot Rohr's experimental side, without the like of Ogenyi Onazi, John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Carl Ikeme were too strong for the Hawks in the match played in Paris.

Ahmed Musa with two goals and Alex Iwobi with two assists were the hero's for the Super Eagles.
The Eagles showed they meant business as early as the third minute when Alex Iwobi took out a couple of players with nice footwork to work a ball into the box with was punched by the goalie into the path of Ahmed Musa who tapped in.

Musa got his second some twenty minutes later when Alex Iwobi once again fed the Leicester City man to tap in once again.
The Eagles were totally dominant and they continued to press with Kelechi Iheanacho once again tapping into the net after Etebo had dribbled the goalie to lay on the ball for the Manchester City forward.

The second half saw a host of changes to the Eagles as the likes of Onyekeru, Osimhen, Ebuechi came on.

This disrupted the Eagles as Togo grew into the game eventually culminating in the Hawks hitting the post with Alampasu (substituted for Ezenwa) already beaten.
The Eagles now focus their attention to the AFCON 2019 Qualifier against South Africa on June 10, which will be played in Uyo.

Arsenal have lost the Premier League title – Allardyce

                                 Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has slammed Arsene Wenger, saying Arsenal have blown their best chance of ending their Premier League title drought. The Gunners chances of winning a first league title since 2004 were dealt a severe blow with their 3-3 draw against West Ham on Saturday. Wenger’s men are therefore now 10 points adrift of surprise leaders Leicester City, who can extend their lead when they play relegation-threatened Sunderland on Sunday. And Allardyce reminded Wenger of just how big a chance Arsenal have let slip this season. “They won’t get a better time to win the league than this season,” he told reporters. “A normal season would have seen Leicester, having the season they’ve had, maybe finishing in the top four, which would have been miraculous. “But they’ve had an opportunity that, without any doubt, Arsenal have missed.
