The Super Eagles of Nigeria produced a superb performance during their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 qualifier against hosts Sao Tome and Principe. Sao Tome and Principe are one of the lowest ranked African teams and they qualified for the group stage section of the AFCON 2023 qualifiers by seeing off Mauritius in the preliminary round.

Super Eagles of Nigeria player Emmanuel Dennis was named the best player after he scored once and assisted two goals for Watford on the way to the 4-1 demolition of sleeping English football giants Manchester United when the two teams met at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Nigeria international Dennis was the catalyst for the big home win over the Red Devils and the product of the defeat was significant for Manchester United after the club sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their manager.

Watford were the better team against Manchester United and they could have scored more than the two first half goals recorded if not for the combination of poor finishing and smart goalkeeping from Spanish international David De Gea in the Manchester United goal.
