Hopefully wilf gets a rest for the third place play off ........

[Lionator]

Riyad just had his Beckham v Greece 2001 moment.

[Dr Marco]

Mahrez you legend! <3

[sm1]

Magnificent. Game was set up for a Mahrez special and he didn't disappoint. 

[UniFox21]

Wilf conceded the foul that led to the free kick and the goal.

 

Still a third-place play off (these are pointless) to go but hopefully he'll be back injury free. 

[CosbehFox]

Very similar free kick to that away at Club Brugge. The pure pace of it beating the keeper 

[Goober]

Riyad 

[ScouseFox]

still really enjoyed seeing him smash that in. his little aggressive celebratory face brought back a lot of memories. what a boy. 

[Royston.]

Bet that felt almost as good as scoring a stoppage time equaliser v Bournemouth 

[davieG]

In case anyone wants to view it.

 

 

[Finnegan]

Riyad 

[Nick]

Filth.

[Ric Flair]

OBSCENE

[Carl the Llama]

G'won Riyad  

 

(The bottom tweet is a far right politician saying he wants Nigeria to win because he believes the many France based Algerians will pour violently into the streets and drown France in Algerian flags if they win, Riyad responded to say he scored the free kick for him  ) 

[the fox]

I'm very proud of Riyad. He is doing a great job captaining the Team. The guys like and respect him. He puts a great shift every game and the last game proved how important he is to the Algerian team. No matter if he's on or off his game, you can count on him to win his team the game.

 

 

I truly miss him here. He might've not been playing as good as he could every game but he was always a player that you can look for to deliver a game-winning moment of absolute brilliance.

Wow. No half-hit there.

Quote

Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr ''We only have two playing in England regularly but Alex Iwobi does not start all the time at Arsenal and Ndidi is at Leicester but it is not a very big club, so I think we have to work hard to find these players who can replace Obi Mikel.''

As much as I want to defend Wilf, its a clumsy foul in a dangerous area. 

 

Shlte defending by Nigeria before that though.

[the fox]

Come on you desert foxes!!

[spacemunky]

That didn't take long!

[isaidno]

What a fluke 

[Arkie Bennett]

Spawny!

[Arkie Bennett]

Never a penalty. Fair play that the ref changed his decision, but it was an awful decision in the first place.
