Alex Iwobi
has thanked the Nigerian fans who witnessed his winning goal for his country on
Saturday night. Iwobi came
on in the 66th minute for Nigeria against Zambia when the score was still 0-0.
Within seven minutes, the 21-year-old has not only scored his second goal for
his national team, he’d won the match and made the Super Eagles the first
African team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
This was
only Iwobi’s 12th cap but he’s already made his mark on the Nigeria national
team.
And he’s not
doing too badly for Arsenal either.
Iwobi scored
his first goal of the season for the Gunners against Brighton during their 2-0
win last Sunday.
It was only
his sixth ever Premier League goal and he’d not found the back of the net since
January when he scored against Watford.
The winger
knows that he needs to add goals and assists to his game considering he’s an
attacking player, so hopefully he can continue this run of good form he appears
to be in once he returns to north London.
Iwobi’s also
created five chances in the league this term and has managed a pass accuracy of
91% on average.
“A Dream Come True…We're Heading To The World Cup 🙌🏽.Nice To Get The
Winning Goal, Massive Thanks To Our Fans. The Atmosphere Was Crazy 🇳🇬🦅
