Mikel missing up again.. So the guy that replaced him after half time got the needed equalizing goal..
So Onazi and Mikel can be in same club? that is interesting, I remember the rumored feud among the duo during the last world cup. This life, It is just good to be nice
Nice one.
Didn’t watch the match to ascertain his level of sharpness, but I trust he’s getting on well in his new club
