A round-up of Nigerian players who were in action for their respective clubs in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup on Friday 16 February.

A solitary goal from striker, Jamie Vardy proved enough for Leicester City who pipped Sheffield United to a 1-0 win at the King Power stadium to secure victory.

Vardy connected with an in swinging cross from Riyad Mahrez to place a header past Jamal Blackman six minutes past the hour mark.

Starring in action for the Foxes were Super Eagles stars Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho both of who went the full duration of the encounter.

Elsewhere, Chelsea made light work of Championship opposition, Hull City with a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Stamford Bridge with a double from William and further strikes from Pedro and Oliver Giroud securing the victory.

The Blues breezed into the huge lead following a rousing first half performance with Argentine goalkeeper, Willy Caballero denying David Myler from the spot after the Tigers who were offered a lifeline in the second period failed to make their chance count.

While Chelsea's Victor Moses was left on the bench for the entirety of the encounter, the duo of Ola Aina and Fikayo Tomori were not eligible for selection against their parent club while Moses Odubajo who is still recuperating from an injury equally missed out for Hull.
