Alex Iwobi sets an European club competition final record in Arsenal’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea
Alex Iwobi failed to join the list of Nigerian players who have won the UEFA Cup/Europa League title but set an exclusive record.
133 seconds after coming on for Arsenal, the Super Eagles striker fired a volley to help reduce the deficit to 2 but Chelsea struck again to increase their lead back to three.
Although the game ended 4-1 against Alex Iwobi’s Arsenal, for his strike in the game, Alex Iwobi became the only Nigerian player to have scored in any major European club competition final.
