Matchday 32 of the English Premier League delivered more twists for Super Eagles players and their clubs as the season inches closer to the finish line, Soccernet.ng reports.
For several Nigerian internationals, the weekend’s results either tightened the noose around relegation fears or revived their dreams of European football.
Here’s how things stand for Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Paul Onuachu, Joe Aribo, Ola Aina, and their respective clubs after another dramatic round of matches.
It was another weekend of dropped points for Wilfred Ndidi and Leicester City. The Foxes played out a 2-2 draw against Brighton, a result that does little to improve their relegation fight.

Southampton’s misery continued as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo’s side remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just 10 points from 32 games.
With only two wins all season and a goal difference of -54, the Saints are all but doomed to drop. Their current form – no wins in the last five – shows a team already preparing for life outside the Premier League.
Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were unable to prevent Fulham from falling to a narrow 1-0 loss against Bournemouth.
Iwobi continues to be a crucial part of their attacking build-up, and Bassey has impressed with his defensive work, but the team must rediscover consistency quickly.
Nottingham Forest’s fairytale campaign took a minor hit as they fell 1-0 to Everton, but Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi’s side still hold a Champions League spot with 56 points in third place.
