EPL Wrap(nigerian Players) Week 10 : Abraham Assists; Iwobi Benched; Solanke Sub by adepoj99(m): 2:34pm On Oct 29, 2017
A round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the English Premier League on Saturday, October 28.

Nigerian players with dual nationalities that have played competitively for the senior national teams of other countries have been omitted.

In the early kickoff, Manchester United youth-team stars Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde did not debut for the first team in their 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

Second-half substitute Anthony Martial broke the deadlock with nine minutes remaining.

At the Emirates Stadium in London, Super Eagle Alex Iwobi was an unused substitute as Arsenal came from behind to beat Tammy Abraham's Swansea City 2-1.

Chuba Akpom featured for the Gunners U23 squad against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon and didn't make the squad for the first team as you would expect.

The England U21 international, who played the full game with England boss Gareth Southgate watching, provided the assist for Sam Clucas's opening goal after a rare counter attack by the visitors.

Kolašinac's emphatic finish leveled the game in the 51st minute before Aaron Ramsey scored the go-ahead goal seven minutes later.

Freddie Ladapo has to wait for his home debut for Crystal Palace as he was not in the match-day squad versus West Ham (2-2).

Javier Hernández and Andrew Ayew scored to give the Hammers a two-goal advantage, before Milivojević converted a spot kick to reduce the deficit four minutes into the second half, then Wilfried Zaha equalized in the seventh minute of stoppage time.

At Anfield, Liverpool returned to winning ways by thrashing newcomers Huddersfield 3-0, with Daniel Sturridge, Roberto Firmino and Georginio Wijnaldum writing their names on the score-sheet in the second half.

Whilst Ovie Ejaria wasn't in the Reds squad, Dominic Solanke was introduced in the 81st minute.

Injured Isaac Success sat out of Watford's 1-0 loss to Stoke City at The Vic. Italy international Stefano Okaka is still out of favour at the Hornets and wasn't considered yet again by manager Marco Silva.

Darren Fletcher, after 16 minutes, scored what proved to be the game-winner for the Potters.

Manchester City beat West Brom 3-2 at The Hawthorns, young defender Tosin Adarabioyo wasn't in the Citizens match day squad.

Leroy Sane opened the scoring for the Citizens but the lead lasted only three minutes, with Jay Rodriguez equalizing for the home team.

Fernandinho's 15th minute goal and a second half strike from Raheem Sterling gave City a 3-1 lead, before Matthew Phillips scored in injury time.

In the late kickoff at the Vitality Stadium, Jordon Ibe starts on the bench for Bournemouth against defending champs Chelsea, who can't count on the services of the injured Nigeria star Victor Moses.
