The Nigeriam midfielder was involved in a controversial moment on the match after replay shows that he made contact with ball with his hands in the box.
However, the call for penalty from the visitors was ignored by the referees who didn’t see a malicious intent from the Nigerian midfieder.
Goals from veteran English striker Jamie Vardy, Moroccan midfielder, Bilal El Khannouss and Zambain striker Patson Daka secureeld 3-1 for Ruud van Nisterooy in his first game in charge.
