Ideye wins gola award

NIGERIA international, Brown Ideye has clinched an award in Greece after scoring a fantastic goal at the Karaiskakis Stadium before the international break.

The honour came after the Edo State-born forward scored for the Greek champions, Olympiacos in a 3-0 victory over AEK Athens to bag the Super League match day award.

The award serves as a consolation for the former West Brom record signing, who fired blank last weekend when he featured for the Super Eagles against  the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Ndola, in a 2018 World Cup qualifier.

Ideye, who now leads the goal chart in the Super League with five goals from four games, reveals his moment of joy through his twitter handle Brown Ideye (MON) ?@OfficialIdeye, just as he lauded those who considered him worthy of the best Goal award with their votes.

“I got awarded ‘the best goal’ of the Greek super league (GSL) match day 6 today, Big thanks to my team and everyone who voted for me,” the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner had tweeted.

The striker, who marked his birthday last week, has also congratulated his team-mate, Ahmed Musa, who celebrate his birthday on Friday, with a tweet: “Happy birthday to Ahmed Musa, wishing you all the best in life.”

Meanwhile, Ideye would be looking forward to increasing his goal tally today when Olympiacos, which occupies second on the league table, one point behind leaders Panathinaikos, play away to Panionios at 6:30pm.
