Sensational Nigeria youngster makes Championship Team of the Week

After another round of Championship matches where he yet again scored and provided an assist to help Queen’s Park Rangers claim all three points, Nigeria youngster Eberechi Eze has been named among the league’s best players.

The 21-year-old England youth international who is eligible to play for Nigeria, the country of his father, has been named in the Championship Team of the Week after delivering another spectacular, match winning performance over the weekend.

Eberechi Eze netted the second goal and created the third as Rangers bounced back from going a goal down to beat Wigan 3-1 in front of their own fans.

Cedric Kipre gave Wigan the lead after just two minutes, but the Rs levelled through Nahki Wells in the 48th minute.

Eze was a handful throughout the encounter and his impact was first felt when he handed the hosts the advantage just after the hour mark, before Jordan Hugill added a third nine minutes from time, thanks to an assist from the Nigerian starlet.

The former Arsenal whizkid’s smashing numbers against Wigan read: 50 touches. 31/36 passes (86% passing accuracy), 3 key passes, 3 dribbles, 4 shots, 1 goal, 1 assist, and 1 tackle, making him difficult to overlook as one of the standout performers of the week.
