Usman Mohammed Sends Twitter Into Meltdown With Breathtaking Goal
Published: May 23, 2018Super Eagles midfielder Usman Mohammed stole the show at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday evening, with the second goal for his team, and was lauded despite Nigeria's 3-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the GOTV MaxCup.
The Rio Olympics star who plies his trade with Sarpsborg 08 in Norway took on the Rojibalancos defenders in an eye-catching style, jinking past a couple of them before leaving two flat footed to roll in with a nutmeg past the goalkeeper in the 80th minute.
Nigerian fans wasted little time in lauding the 24-year old's goal even though Arsenal's Kelechi Nwakali had struck an equally impressive one.
Below are some of the best tweets in praise of the midfielder's goal :
@Uchekush_: ''Usman Mohammed just reminded Athletico Madrid players about LaLiga 😂😂😂 #NGRvsATLETI''.
@omoissy: ''Usman Mohammed just sent this Atletico Madrid player tackling back to spain 😂😂#NGRvsATLETI''.
