Champions League : Dele Scores; Onomah Subbed In; Ahmed Musa Starts; Awaziem Not Involved
Rundown of how players of Nigerian descent fared in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Both Dele Alli and Josh Onomah got game time as Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow at Wembley. Alli put in a full shift and the England U20 international subbed in after 83 minutes.

On 38 minutes, Dele Alli equalized for the home team after Alan Dzagoev had opened scoring.

At Estádio Do Dragão, Nigeria international Ahmed Musa occupied the flank and was in action for 45 minutes as Leicester City suffered a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Porto.

André Silva (2), Jesús Corona, Brahimi and Diogo Jota scored the goals for the Portuguese setup. Defender Chidozie Awaziem will be hoping to be registered for the knockout rounds after he was omitted from the group stage.

Despite the loss, the Foxes secured their place in the last sixteen by topping Group G.
