'I'll Always Take Samuel Kalu Over Chukwueze' - Nigeria Fans Heap Praise On Bordeaux Winger After Brilliant Strike
Published: November 13, 2019Nigerians were full of praise for Bordeaux star Samuel Kalu following his display in the Super Eagles 2-1 victory over Benin to open the 2021 AFCON qualifiers with a victory on Wednesday.
The winger capped off his impressive performance with an eye-catching solo goal, when he jinked past three opposition defenders to beat The Squirrels goaltender Farnolle Fabien with a low shot to the left corner.
