Alex Iwobi Beats Algeria Defender with Outrageous Rainbow Flick

Nigeria were in the mood to entertain on Saturday, as they romped to a comfortable 3-1 win over Algeria in their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

Chelsea pair John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses (2) hit the goals, but it was Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi who surely provided the game's most enjoyable highlight.

The youngster possesses plenty of trickery in his repertoire, and he demonstrated it brilliantly by lifting a sensational rainbow flick over his helpless opponent.

It was a display of skill even his uncle, the great Jay-Jay Okocha, would have been proud of.
