By Farouk Mohammed

Arsenal have congratulated Alex Iwobi over Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Hale End graduate netted the lone goal of the game against Zambia’s Chipolopolo of Zambia.

And the Gunners took to their official Twitter handle to congratulate Austine Jay-Jay Okocha’s nephew for the victory.

“From coming through our academy to sending Nigeria to the World Cup. We’re all so proud of you,” the North London team tweeted.

The Super Eagles will now go into the last game of the qualifiers, against Algeria, with calmed nerves having got 13 points from five games.
