Moses wins Man of the Match award

NIGERIA international, Victor Moses on Saturday scooped the Man of the Match award in his first start for Chelsea in three years.

Goals from Willian and Diego Costa inside six second-half minutes gave Chelsea a 2-0 victory over Hull City in the English Premier League.

Moses despite not hitting the score sheet claimed the Man of the Match award with his superb performance.

The winger said he looks forward to having more matches with ‘The Blues’.

“I hope there will be more games for me to play in the future for Chelsea because they are a huge club, one of the best in the world,” said the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner.

The arrival of Italian manager, Antonio Conte this season has given Moses a new lease of life at Stamford Bridge after he has been shipped out on loan to Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United in the last three seasons.

Moses who is one of the invited players for next Sunday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia said the victory at KCOM Stadium was very satisfying for all those involved with Chelsea.

“We are delighted with the three points, the club as well as the fans. We are pleased,” he said.

Conte also praised his men after the win.

“After two defeats, this win was very important and we played well today,” said the former Italy coach.
