The Rio Olympics star who plies his trade with Sarpsborg 08 in Norway took on the Rojibalancos defenders in an eye-catching style, jinking past a couple of them before leaving two flat footed to roll in with a nutmeg past the goalkeeper in the 80th minute.

Nigerian fans wasted little time in lauding the 24-year old's goal even though Arsenal's Kelechi Nwakali had struck an equally impressive one.

Below are some of the best tweets in praise of the midfielder's goal :
