Mikel Obi Scores First Ever Champions League Goal by shopisky(m): 12:23am On Dec 11, 2014
The Nigerian capped a beautiful
display to score his first Uefa
Champions League goal in his side’s
win against Sporting Lisbon on
Wednseday
Super Eagles midfielder John Obi
Mike l scored his first Uefa
Champions League goal in Chelsea’s
3-1 defeat of Sporting Lisbon on
Wednesday at the Stamford Bridge.
Fabregas swung in a free kick from
the left hand side that was flicked
towards goal by Cahill. Mikel and
Matic were fighting for the ball at
the back post but it was the
Nigerian who got the final touch to
increase the lead for the Blues.
Cesc Fabregas had opened the
scoring from the penalty spot after
Filipe Luis was brought down by
Ricardo Esgaio inside the first ten
minutes.
Andre Schurrle added a second
shortly after, with a fierce shot from
the edge of the box following good
work by Nemanja Matic.
Sporting clawed a goal back in the
second half through Jonathan Silva,
but John Obi Mikel restored the
home side's advantage and secured
all three points, while Schalke's
victory over Maribor meant the
Lisbon side did not qualify for the
knockout stages of the competition.
