In the clip shared by Troost-Ekong on Instagram, a fan added in the comment section:

“My man said he don't do what everyone does.”

Another asked:

“Which kind senior man b dis?”

One wrote:

“Big Man you now turn Super Eagles presenter.”

Central African Republic 0 – 2 Nigeria

Meanwhile, two first-half goals from Leon Balogun and Victor Osimhen were all the Super Eagles needed to outshine their host Central African Republic in their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, October 10.

The three-time African champions claimed maximum points away from home after their disappointing defeat to the same opposition at the Teslim Balogun Stadium a few days ago.

Balogun opened the scoring for the visitors just one minute before the half-hour mark from close range after benefiting from a long delivery into the home team's danger zone.

Victor Osimhen doubled his side's lead just before the halftime whistle sounded in the game and that was how it ended.

Victor Osimhen named Serie A Player of the Month

Legit.ng earlier reported that Victor Osimhen has been named the Serie A Player for the Month of September following his brilliant performances.

Despite being red-carded in Napoli's first game of the season against Venezia in August, Osimhen bounced back to produced eye-catching displays.

The Nigerian international scored seven goals in September with four of them coming in the Italian top-flight division.

And the 22-year-old was selected ahead of the likes of Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella, AC Milan's Brahim Diaz and Fiorentina's Giacomo Bonaventura to clinch his first individual award.
