A round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective
clubs in the English Premier League on Saturday, October 21.

In the early kickoff, Chelsea came from behind to beat Watford 4-2 at Stamford Bridge. Nigerian pair Victor Moses and Isaac Success did not feature for their respective teams due to injury.
Pedro Rodriguez opened the scoring, then Abdoulaye Doucoure and Roberto Pereyra scored to put the Hornets 2-1 up, before goals from Michy Batshuayi (2) and Cesar Azpilicueta secured a win for the defending champs.
Both Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde were not in Manchester United squad that surprisingly lost 2-1 to Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium.
United were two goals down at half-time, Aaron Mooy got the first and Laurent Depoitre added a second. Marcus Rashford's 78th minute goal set up a nervy ending but the hosts held on to a record a famous win.

Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane wrote their names on the score-sheet for the Citizens.
Freddie Ladapo was not in the 18-man squad as Crystal Palace lost 1-0 to Newcastle United at St. James' Park. Mikel Merino scored the winner with four minutes left.
Jordon Ibe started and was in action for 87 minutes in Bournemouth's impressive 2-1 at Stoke City. First half goals from Surman and Stanislas put the Cherries 2-0 up before Diouf reduced the arrears in the 63rd minute.
There was a change of fortunes for Leicester City after they got back to winning ways with a 2-1 win against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham and Wilfred Ndidi put in a full shift, Kelechi Iheanacho watched proceedings from the bench and Ahmed Musa was not named in the match day squad.
Federico Fernandez and Shinji Okazaki were on target for the Foxes, and Alfie Mawson pulled a goal back after 56 minutes to give the Swans hope.
