Moffi’s teammate unhappy with Super Eagles striker’s conduct in Nice’s win against PSG

Terem Moffi has started the season in impressive form, registering three goals and two assists in his first five games of the season

Super Eagles forward Terem Moffi has been criticized by his teammate Dante, for his celebration after scoring his second goal in Nice’s 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Friday night, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 24-year-old was the star player as he contributed two goals and one assist to help Nice claim a big victory over the Ligue 1 defending champions.

On the other hand, Moffi created controversy after scoring his second goal to make the scoreline 3-1 on the night. The Nigerian forward celebrated by taking off his jersey and infuriated PSG fans not to the taste of PSG players and Kylian Mbappe in particular.

Dante has expressed his disappointment and felt that his teammate could have avoided the provocation.

Terem has a lot of strength, he knows how to take depth. But the negative point is his 2nd goal and his celebration. You have to know how to stay with your feet on the ground, He revealed to Foot Mercato, as quoted by Onze Mondial 

After his brace against PSG, the Super Eagles striker has now scored three goals in five games he has played so far this season.

The 24-year-old was not called up to the team that claimed a 6-0 victory over the São Tomé and Príncipe in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo in the recent International break.
