Arsenal Talent Iwobi Nets Brace As Super Eagles Hammer Plateau United In Friendly
The national team continued their preparations for the World Cup qualifier against Zambia this weekend, with a 3-0 rout of Nigeria Professional Football League side Plateau United in a scrimmage at the National Stadium on Wednesday.<br /><br />Gent midfielder Anderson Esiti’s goal in the first half started the scoring for the Super Eagles, who started the game with what appeared to be the second team. <br /><br />Coach Rohr made a raft of changes at the start of the second half, bringing on the likes of Chelsea midfielder Mikel, Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi, City striker Iheanacho and ex-Plateau United trainee Eddy Onazi. <br /><br />In the 57th minute, Iwobi doubled the lead with a beautiful solo goal before adding more gloss to the scoreline with his second of the game in the closing minutes. <br /><br />Barring any last minute change, the Super Eagles will not play any more friendly before their trip to Ndola on Saturday. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : thenff.com<br />
