Drogba praises Musa’s goals against Iceland in World Cup cracker

By Daily Sports on June 24, 2018

Ivorian football legend Didier Drogba lavished praise on Ahmed Musa after the Leicester City striker's World Cup heroics for Nigeria.

Musa hit a brace in the Super Eagles' 2-0 defeat of Iceland to set his side up for qualification out of Group D.

The 25 year-old Leicester City striker's first was a delightful volley having controlled Victor Moses' cross.

His second, sandwiched in-between a crossbar-thumping effort from the left, was a mazy run rounded off with a calm finish.

And Drogba, who notched two World Cup goals in eight appearances for Ivory Coast, was particularly impressed with Musa's first.

"That's a great finish," Drogba said on the BBC.

"The first touch is unbelievable. That’s the perfect touch to finish a goal.

"It's a good ball, a good touch - most of the time it's a goal.

"That's what makes it a beautiful goal. Wow." (Leicestermecury.co.UK)
