The Super Eagles star said, while speaking to Shina Oludare on X, “I don’t know how to put it, but it’s an amazing feeling to score my first goal in City’s stadium. I’m so proud.

“We knew it would be difficult after we got the first goal; we were a bit sloppy. And when we conceded the first goal, they had more momentum and energy, so it was much more difficult for us because of our mistakes.”
