EPL 9Ja Wrap: Yellow Saturday For 9Ja Players As Only Iwobi's Everton Records A Win By Omolagba Oluwayemi The English Premier League lived up to the billings on Saturday with some shocking but expected results across seven match venues, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Not the best of Saturdays for Nigerian exports in England as three of the seven of them on parade racked up yellow cards, one involved in a goal, one on a winning side while others could only settle for a draw with their respective clubs. Alex Iwobi once again had over 85 minutes of actions under his belt as Everton beat Norwich City 2-0 at the Godison Park. The flexible winger played from the left mid-field side of a 4-4-1-1 formation adopted by Rafael Benitez as the Tofees moved to 5th on the log with 13 points, level on points with second placed Manchester City and one adrift leaders, Liverpool, and on the other hand, Andrew Omobamidele watched the full match from the bench of Norwich City who looks like they'll be returning to the championship at the end of the season Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to assist Jamie Vardy for Leicester City's second goals as they twice come from behind to play a 2-2 draw with Burnley at the King Power Stadium. Wilfred Ndidi as usual was at the heart of Leicester City's mid-field while their compatriot Ademola Lookman who started the game for Leicester City saw 78 minutes of action before being taken off for James Madison. Emmanuel Dennis and William Troost-Ekong both picked up a first half yellow card as Watford held Newcastle United to a 1-1 draw thanks to Ismaila Sarr's 72nd minute equaliser. The Hornets so far are doing relatively well on their return to the Premier League. In an intriguing encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium in London, Frank Onyeka with an above average performance picked up a yellow card as Brentford dent Liverpool's hope of pulling 3 points clear on top of the log. In what is arguably match of the round, Brentford did all they could including coming to level terms on two occasions to ensured they share the spoils with Jurgen Klopp's men 3-3 in the match day 6 fixture. So far so good, its a relatively okay situation for Nigeria players in the English Premier League and aside Omobamidele who is languishing in the bottom of the log with Norwich City, the rest are doing well based on their level with their respective clubs. On Sunday, two players who ditched Nigeria for England, Bukayo Saka and Dele Alli will go head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium when Arsenal hosts Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby
