Several Nigerian football stars were in action across Europe and Asia on Thursday, January 8, 2025. Here’s a roundup of their performances, courtesy of Soccernet.ng.

Alex Iwobi delivered a stellar performance as Fulham cruised into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4-1 victory over Watford at Craven Cottage.

Iwobi completed 80% of his 50 passes, registered one key pass, and attempted three shots before being substituted in the 66th minute for youngster Becket Fabrice-Martial Godo.

However, international teammate Calvin Bassey was an unused substitute, watching the entire match from the bench.

Bassey has been a regular starter for Fulham in the Premier League, playing every minute in 19 of the team’s 20 league games this season.
