2018 World Cup Qualifier: Super Eagles thrash Cameroon 4-0



Super Eagles of Nigeria made it three wins from three in 2018 World Cup qualifying with a 4-0 thrashing of African champions Cameroon in Uyo.
Earlier on Friday Ghana scored in the 88th minute to earn a 1-1 draw against visiting Congo in Group E.
Odion Ighalo, John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Kelechi Iheanacho were all on target for Nigeria in their victory.
The win means the Super Eagles top Group B on nine points while Cameroon have just two after three matches.


Zambia and Algeria both have a point each and they play their third match against each other on Saturday in Lusaka.
Nigeria took the lead on 29 minutes when Ighalo latched onto a ball over the top from captain John Mikel Obi and slotted home.
Ighalo was then booked for revealing a t-shirt in support of his international colleague Carl Ikeme who has leukaemia.
Just before half time a corner from Moses was turned in by his former Chelsea team-mate Mikel Obi as he slid in and put the ball into the roof of the net.
Moses scored the third in the 55th minute after an exchange of passes with Moses Simon.

The rout was completed when Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho stooped to head home a cross from Ogenyi Onazi with 14 minutes left to play.
