NPFL: Chelle praises Shooting Stars duo after win over Nasarawa United

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has praised Lucky Emmanuel and Ayobami Junior’s performances in Shooting Stars’ 3–2 win over Nasarawa United.

Chelle was in the stands at Lekan Salami Stadium on Sunday for the matchday 36 Nigeria Premier Football League fixture.

The coach singled out forward Junior as one of the standout performers but said he still has areas to improve.

“Lucky scored twice, but I wanted to watch Ayobami Junior,” Chelle told Shooting Stars media.

“He did well with the ball. He is very good.

“When without the ball, he needs to work harder to help the team. The players gave everything throughout the encounter.”

Emmanuel scored a brace for Shooting Stars in the win.

Chelle is expected to attend Tuesday’s clash between Ikorodu City and Wikki Tourists.
