Mikel Earns Legendary Status After Outstanding Display In EPL Game (SEE EVIDENCE)

Football fans all over the world have hailed Nigeria’s John Mikel Obi after a commanding display in Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat of Crystal Palace Football Club.

The win which represents Guus Hiddink, the club’s interim manager’s first win of the season, saw Mikel hold forth in the midfield in front of the two defenders and shielded them from conceding unnecessary goals during the 90-minute duel at the away team.

Nigerians and football pundits from all over the world have now tagged the Nigerian midfield maestro the new African Zidane, naming him after legendary French player, Zinedine Zidane after his man of the match performance.
