Iwobi goal against the Three Lions means, the Arsenal star became the first and only Nigerian player to score against England.

Speaking after the match, Iwobi tweeted, “Love to all the Naija supporters that came out to Wembley today and to all the Nigeria’s supporters around the world.

“Not the result we wanted but we push forward to Russia.”
