Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka featured for Brentford but suffered home loss, as they went down 1-0 to Manchester City in Wednesday’s Premier League fixture.
Onyeka was on from the start before making way with 15 minutes remaining.
City will head into the new year with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League after Phil Foden’s first-half goal earned them the hardfought 1-0 win at Brentford.

Foden stroked home in the 16th minute from Kevin de Bruyne’s pass and it proved sufficient to seal a 10th successive league win for Pep Guardiola’s side.
With Liverpool losing at Leicester City on Tuesday and Chelsea held by Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday, City have seized complete control of the title race.
They were far from their best against Brentford, however, with the newly promoted club always looking capable of salvaging something.
De Bruyne did hit the post after the break and both Foden and Aymeric Laporte had goals disallowed as City sought to give themselves a cushion.
But City held on with few real scares to reach 50 points from 20 games, with Chelsea on 42 from 20 and Liverpool on 41 having played one game less than the top two.

Onyeka the Onion. We always pray for you because you will bring the cup home to Nigeria from Cameroon. We are just waiting for you to arrive at the camp, go to Cameroon and demolish anything that stands in your path. Heaven bless Onyeka the Onion and all deserving Super Eagles freaks.
Blessed are those who don’t expect anything from the Super Eagles for they shall never be disappointed.
Lets not raise our expectations to avoid a heart break. It was the high expectations that made Rohr to be saying teams like Niger, Liberia are tough teams just to calm people down
