Oshoala scores first goal for Liverpool

Talented Nigerian female football star, Asisat Oshoala, who signed a five-year deal for Liverpool Ladies last Friday, played her first game for her new team on Tuesday against Aston Villa Ladies where she scored her first goal.
The 20 year-old Asisat scored a fantastic goal in the enthralling game that ended 4-1 in favour of Liverpool.
Meanwhile, former Super Falcons head coach, Eucharia Uche, has applauded the movement of Oshoala to the English FA Women Super League champions, Liverpool Ladies, from Nigerian club, Rivers Angels.
Uche said the switch of the Rivers Angels top striker to England will further enhance her standard of play as well as add more value to the national side.
“It’s a highly welcomed development, the successful switch to the English women side, Liverpool Ladies by Asisat Oshoala. Her breakthrough is expected to improve and strengthen the domestic league as well as the national team.
“It’s a good omen to the side’s campaign at the forthcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada later in the year. The exploits of the likes of Perpetua Nkwocha, Francisca Ordega, Desire Oparanozie and Onome Ebi, among others in the various European leagues have been a blessing to the senior national team.
“Oshoala is expected to come back to the national team a more improved player as her exploits are most likely to open doors to her colleagues in the local scene,” said the former Nigerian striker.
