The Super Eagles of Nigeria put in their best performance on Sunday evening after an easy 4-2 win against Lesotho.
The home team open the scoring in the 11th minute through Masoabi Nkoto after a poor defending by the Nigerian defence. Few minutes later, the Super Eagles scored two goals in twelve minute through Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze to put them on the brink of claiming another three point.
After the restart of the second half, the away team were too strong for their opponent as they scored in the 75th and 85th minute through Lille's striker Victor Osimhen to make it 1-4 at the Setsoto Stadium in Maseru. The home team responded in the 90th minute through Chidozie Awaziew's clumsy mistake to make it 2-4 in the closing stage of the match, although the Super Eagles  went on to claim all three point in Group L.
Furthermore, Nigeria sit top of group L after two win in two matches and another six point against Sierra Leone will grant them safe passage into the knockout stage of the Africa Cup Of Nations(AFCON) qualifiers match.

Few minutes later, Mane pressed forward to charge the Chelsea defence and luckily the Blues made a silly mistake through Kepa Arizabalaga who gave the ball to cheaply in a dangerous position which allowed the forward to put the game to bed. The home team were given a glorious opportunity to score a consolation goal after new signing Timo Werner was fouled in the penalt...

Manchester United victory gives Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a new transfer decision.

Manchester United victory vs Watford gives Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a new transfer decision Man Utd marked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first match in charge of the club with a 2-1 victory over Watford thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. It is only traditional that  Manchester United  do things the hard way. However, the manner in which they commemorated  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ascension to the  Old Trafford  throne was not with the walkover win which supporters might have expected. Of course it was never going to be straightforward against a team as intelligent and hardworking as this Watford side, but the manner in which they performed in a home match was alarming. It was maybe the perfect wake-up call that United still managed to win while flirting with the prospect of dropped points against a mid-table side which they really should be beating if they want a top-four finish. The rustiness from a two week break was clear to...

Accompanied by a police escort, the world’s most expensive footballer was driven to a Sao Paulo police station where security had been ramped up for his highly anticipated arrival.

Neymar’s appearance comes after Brazilian police said Thursday they had filed a defamation suit against his rape accuser for insinuating the force was...
