AFCON 2023: We Now Have A Team, Former Super Falcons Coach Says—-A former coach of Nigeria`s female national team, the Super Falcons, Godwin Izilein has described the present Super Eagles squad as the best in recent times.

Izilein who spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Calabar, said the strength of the squad lies in playing for each other and better understanding.

According to him, “They understand themselves and play normal game. They attack and defend for themselves.

“This wasn’t the case before; they cover for themselves. The players have come to realise that your mistake is mine and mine is yours.

“There is now element of maturity in their game and they now also play with flexibility.

“The only snag is that, Alex Iwobi has really not been fully into this tournament. He loses possession easily and does not defend and cover up for his colleagues.

“Iwobi only plays when he has the ball and go to sleep when he is not.”

Izilein, however, said he remained confident that the Super Eagles will triumph over Angola in the quarter final match on Friday.

“I am convinced and confident that Nigeria will deal with Angola on Friday,” he stated.

NAN reports that the Super Eagles who emerged the runner up in group A that comprised Cote d`Ivoire, won their round of 16 duel against Cameroon to qualify for the quarter final.

The Super Eagles have so far played four matches, won three and drew one in the ongoing AFCON.

The team have also scored a total of five goals and conceded one in the five matches.

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool Following Hard Fought Victory Against Spurs

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool Following Hard Fought Victory Against Spurs—-Arteta men claimed a vital 2-1 win against Tottenham this evening, closing the gap on the Premier League leader Liverpool who drew to in-form Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners capitalised on Liverpool’s dropped points the night before, delivering a determined performance in front of a raucous Emirates crowd.

From the first whistle, Arsenal’s intent was clear. Leandro Trossard forced an early block from Spurs’ defence as the Gunners dominated possession and pinned their rivals back. Despite Arsenal’s control, Spurs managed to carve out a threat on the counter, with Dejan Kulusevski forcing a superb save from David Raya.

Tottenham silenced the Emirates temporarily when they opened the scoring against the run of play from a corner, showcasing their resilience despite being on the back foot for much of the first half.

Undeterred, Arsenal resumed their dominance after the break. Their persistence was rewarded when Dominic Solanke turned a dangerous Arsenal corner into his own net, levelling the scores. Just four minutes later, Trossard electrified the crowd with a stunning strike, completing the Gunners’ comeback.

Kai Havertz had a golden opportunity to extend Arsenal’s lead but sent his header wide. Meanwhile, Spurs pushed for an equaliser, with Ange Postecoglou introducing changes to inject life into his side. However, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances against a disciplined Arsenal defence.

Pedro Porro came closest to rescuing a point for Spurs when his effort struck the post, but the Gunners held firm to secure yet another memorable derby victory.

The result further solidifies Arsenal’s position in the title race and serves as a timely confidence boost after recent setbacks. For Spurs, the loss adds to a season of inconsistency, leaving them with much to ponder.
