Nigeria target, Eberechi Eze, was on target yesterday as Crystal Palace secured their Premier League status for another season with a comfortable 2-0 victory at already-relegated Sheffield United.
Ebere who is on the radar of Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr to beef up his attacking midfield, broke forward late on to convert a second and secure Crystal Palace’s first win in five games, putting them beyond reach of third-bottom Fulham.
That capped a fine performance by the English midfielder, 22, who breezed past Egan in the opening minute before laying off to Christian Benteke, whose shot deflected off George Baldock and over Ramsdale into the Blades’ net for the opening goal.

Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr, has alleviated fears over the fitness of Victor Osimhen after the Napoli striker was knocked unconscious during the final minutes of Sunday’s Italian serie A match at Atalanta.
The 22-year-old was stretchered off the pitch and rushed to hospital in northern Italy after he fell awkwardly and hit his head on the ground, following a collision with Atalanta defender Cristian Romero.
After spending the night under observation and undergone multiple tests, Osimhen returned to Naples on Monday.
Rohr, who is expected to name him in his squad for next month’s crucial final two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, is hopeful he will return to action soon.

With six appearances at the greatest sporting event on the planet, the FIFA World Cup, Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr, has said that the Nigerian senior team is still very far to be counted among those that could win the coveted trophy.
The Franco-German gaffer said yesterday that the current crop of players are far from been world beaters and could only try to make impressions.
Since Super Eagles debuted at USA ‘94 where they were eliminated by finalist, Italy in the second round, the team again 1998, 2002 and 2014 editions matched the mark. Eagles have only missed appearance at the 2006 finals in Germany since the debut 27 years ago.
