Nigeria put four past Libya
The Super Eagles recorded a convincing 4-0 win against Libya in their Nations Cup qualifier match in Uyo. While it is a poor Libyan side, the Eagles did what was required making it two wins from their three qualifying games. Odion Ighalo scored a hat-trick, answering his critics for his poor showing at the World Cup and Sani Kalu scoring a curler giving Nigeria. The interesting highlight from the game was Alex Iwobi who influenced the game from the No.10 role in the second half. That could be important for the Eagles with Iwobi being the prime creator in the absence of Mikel Obi which he showed on Saturday.
Sancho makes debut for Three Lions
Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho has lit up the Bumdesliga this season scoring once and making six assists, which is the most across Europe's top 5 leagues. He was rewarded a call-up for England makong his debut in their Nations League tie against Croatia which ended scoreless.
