Moses stars in Chelsea win

The rise and rise of Victor Moses continued in the Uefa Champions league last night

Posted: 3 October 2012 Time: 08:35 am

The rise and rise of Victor Moses continued as the youngster started the game and impressed in Chelsea's 4-0 rout of Nordsjælland in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Nigerian international winger was making his European debut for the Champions League holders and saw 65 minutes of action until he was taken off for Eden Hazard.

Moses became a torn on the flesh of the host early in the game after the home side gave the ball away to Chelsea from an early throw-in and Moses back heeled a pass to Oscar, who’s shot across goal went narrowly wide.

Shortly after, Oscar crossed the ball to Moses at the far post but, just as the winger appeared set to nod the ball in, Nordsjaelland centre-back Jores Okore flung himself across to force the effort against the post.

The man of the match was however two-goal hero Mata. The Spanish midfielder opened scoring in the 33rd minute after being put through by Frank Lampard.

Chelsea's second goal did not come easy as the home side battled for an equalizer which never came, and must have been demoralized when a direct free-kick in the 79th minute by David Luiz went straight into the net, in a game whose score line was not a true reflection of what went down on the night.

Mata grabbed his second three minutes later to make it 3-0 for Chelsea, before Ramires completed the rout by tapping in Oscar's pass.

The other Nigeria in the Chelsea team John Mikel Obi came on as an 83rd minute substitute for Mata.

Victor Moses' continouse rise, humility and patroitism is very very contagouse (hope spelling is correct). No wonder Mikel Obi is now born again. It is a case of "if you don't do the job, someone else will come and do it". I think by now it should be abundantly clear to players that Nigeria is super blessed with quality players. So everyone is important, but no one is too important.

I was surprised to see that there is a Nigerian player playing for Barcelona U19's. He is just 17 years old by name Elohor Godswill Ekpolo. Born in 14 May 1995. How come his name has never been mentioned by Obuh and the NFF.

Feel free to check footievoice.com for articles about the highs and lows of football such as money, racism and where I question Barcelona's dominance AND do a Ronaldo VS Messi.
