Published: November 21, 2018Arsenal monitored proceedings as the Super Eagles were held to a goalless draw in a physical international friendly at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba on Tuesday evening.
The Gunners have hailed the performance of their number seventeen Alex Iwobi who was deployed as a playmaker against the Cranes despite the fact he didn't get on the score-sheet and was not directly involved in any goal.

''Our 22-year-old winger was lively throughout, but he couldn’t stop the Super Eagles from firing a blank for the first time in six outings.''
