With the tie level at 2-2 from the first leg, Harry Maguire failed to control a pass from David de Gea after just seven minutes, which allowed Erik Lamela to pick the ball off him and pass it to Youssef En-Nesyri for an easy finish. Loic Bade headed home early in the second half and En-Nesyri added another after a David de Gea mistake.

He said; “It’s clear. When we make such mistakes, it’s difficult to win a football game. It’s a problem and we have to acknowledge it but against Brighton, we have an opportunity to work on that. You have seen what I have seen. We were not composed or calm. “It’s a problem, we can’t run away from it. On Sunday we have to step up and show more character and more personality.”

Kemi Olunloyo speaks on Davido alegedly impregnating babymama

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has reacted to rumours about Davido impregnating one of his babymamas, Amanda.

In her recent post, Kemi Olunloyo reiterated that marriage is a scam while condemning the alleged act of the singer. She went ahead to note that polygamy is always the best option since infidelity is not a great practice for a married man.

In her words: “Polygamy is the best option. Never sex with the Ex/babymama. Since Nigerians hate factual news I will keep talking to the newsmakers. This one is real fire on the mountain. “You are a big married Afrobeats musician now. Just stay as a babydaddy like Nick Cannon. You cannot sleep with a babymama. Now she’s pregnant. Wife moved out. Infidelity. Marriage is a scam.” See her post below:

“How do you marry a teenager and expect him to be free of his parents” — Mary Njoku speaks on Achraf Hakimi’s divorce scandal

“How do you marry a teenager and expect him to be free of his parents” — Mary Njoku speaks on Achraf Hakimi's divorce scandal

Nollywood actress, Mary Njoku has spoken out regarding the scandal surrounding the divorce of Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi.

Mary Remmy Njoku

According to the actress, it is unlikely that any mother, particularly an African mother, would completely let go of her teenage son, regardless of whether he is married or not. Njoku went on to suggest that many of the contracts signed by Hakimi were likely signed when he was underage, and therefore, putting his assets in his mother’s name was not intentional.

Achraf Hakimi

Instead of attempting to recover her husband’s assets, Njoku believes that Hiba Abouk should have focused on making more money for herself. Njoku also expressed the opinion that it is unreasonable to expect a teenager, particularly an African teenager, to be independent of their parents. “How Do You Marry A Teenager And Expect Him To Be Independent Of His Parents? An African Teenager. There’s No Sane African Mum Who Will Let Go Completely Of Her Teenage Child. Pikin Wey Suppose Dey Do A level. Abi Because Na Star? Most Of The Contracts Were Probably Signed When He Was Under Aged. So It Wasn’t International. “Every successful teenage athlete, there is a Mum, Dad, Guardian who believed in them more than they believed in themselves. A parent who put in EVERYTHING. Money, time, prayers, emotional and physiological support. tears, scolding. Someone who sacrificed the most they had just to make sure their CHILD stood out. A teenager BOY is his mother’s son. A MAN is his wife’s husband. She for wait small make he mature Or better still, made her own money.” She wrote. See the post below:
