FA Cup: Rivals Mock Chelsea Fans, As Nigerians Hail Iheanacho, Ndidi
Rival fans of Chelsea FC were on Saturday night taunting the nine time winners of the English FA Cup after the club failed for the second consecutive year to lift the trophy at the finals. The taunt by Nigerian fans of rival football clubs came as Nigerians from across the political and premiership divides were lauding the victorious Nigerian duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi on their victory.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported that Leicester won the FA Cup for the first time after the club defeated Chelsea FC in the final at Wembley by a lone goal.
Remarkably, the victory was celebrated by some Chelsea fans with one of them identified saying he celebrated the win because of the Nigerian duo of Iheanacho and Ndid who paraded a Nigerian flag following the epic final.
