Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho showed a different class on Thursday night as Omonia Nicosia lost 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford on match-day 4 of the Europa League.
Top performance from this Manchester United fan.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho was all smiles after he made twelve saves in Omonia Nicosia’s tough 1-0 loss at Manchester United.
Uzoho was handed a starting shirt in Omonia’s game against his boyhood-fan club Manchester United. And he proved that the decision from his boss Neil Lennon was the right one.
In the 56th minute, Uzoho made a superb double save to deny Bruno Fernandes the opener.
Substitute Scott McTominay grabbed the winner with virtually the last kick of the game in the 93rd minute to break Omonia’s hearts.
Uzoho, who also admitted to being a lifelong Manchester United fan won the man of the match award, in a chat after the game, he described it as “a dream come true”, to play inside Old Trafford.
‘I am not disappointed, because we had a good game, but I would have preferred to get a point. Yet I’m happy, it’s not easy to play in a stadium like this and the atmosphere.
