| Alex Iwobi celebrates with Chuba Akpom |
NIGERIAN striker, Chuba Akpom is still in celebration
mood after netting an 87th-minute winner as Arsenal recorded a 2-1 win over the
Major League Soccer All-Stars on Thursday night.
It appeared that the pre-season clash was heading for
penalties after Didier Drogba cancelled out a Joel Campbell penalty, but Akpom
netted three minutes from time to ensure that the Gunners triumphed at the
Avaya Stadium.
In his reaction after the game, the England U-21 striker
who is still eligible to represent Nigeria expressed delight at getting to
feature in the encounter.
“Nice to get some minutes against the MLS All-Stars and
get on the scoresheet 🔴⚪️
#AFC #ArsenalUSA," the 20 year old wrote on his Twitter handle.
Also, Arsenal youngstar, Alex Iwobi who came in as a 67th
minute substitute for Theo Walcott is also glad to feature against the MLS
All-Stars side.
“Nice to get 45 minutes against the #MLSAllstars”, the 19
year old said via his official Twitter account.
