Published: October 19, 2017Former Flying Eagles striker Alhaji Gero was pleased after netting his second goal in the group stage of the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday and has dedicated his second-half strike to someone very special to him.

''I am dedicating the goal to my mom because she is very special to me,'' said Alhaji Gero to allnigeriasoccer.com.
''Athletic Bilbao is reallya big club and great players. We conceded a last minute goal because it happens when you play against a really big team like them.
''We will maintain and keep working hard in the remaining matches.''
