Nnadozie Secures Goalkeeper’s Award Once More in France

Chiamaka Nnadozie has become the first African to clinch the National Union of Professional Footballers award for the top goalkeeper in the French women's premier league, thanks to her outstanding performances for Paris FC during the 2023/24 season.

She outshone a formidable lineup, including Christiane Endler from Olympic Lyon, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek of PSG, FC Fleury's Chloe N'Gazi, and Kinga Szemik from Stade de Reims, to secure this individual honor. Last month, the Nigeria international also earned recognition as the best goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema (women's league).

Nnadozie's remarkable talent in saving penalties has solidified her position as one of the world's top goalkeepers, having stopped seven penalties this season, the highest tally among goalkeepers across Europe.

Nnadozie has made two crucial penalty saves in the league and five more during her club's impressive campaign in the Women's Champions League.

Tobi Amusan, the current world record-holder in the women’s 100m hurdles, showcased her speed and skill once again by setting a new world-leading time of 12.40 (0.9 m/s). Despite Danielle Williams, a two-time world champion, leading most of the race, Amusan surged ahead, claiming victory, with Williams finishing second at 12.46.

Amusan expressed her satisfaction with her performance, highlighting her improved health this season compared to previous years. She emphasized her determination to avoid disqualification and praised her execution in the race, despite acknowledging areas for improvement.

Nigeria’s Minister of Sports, John Enoh, congratulated Amusan on her achievement, recognizing her dominant win at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational. Enoh praised her victory over world champion Danielle Williams and encouraged her to continue making Nigeria proud as the Paris Olympics approach.

Amusan’s triumph sets a positive tone for Nigeria's prospects at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she is expected to play a key role in the country's pursuit of medals.

Arsenal Defeat Man Utd 1-0 As PL Title Race Goes Down To Final Day

Arsenal kept their Premier League title hopes alive by breaking an Old Trafford jinx and defeating Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday, regaining the top spot and bringing the championship race down to the last weekend.

Leandro Trossard scored the only goal on 20 minutes as Arsenal triumphed for the second time in 17 games away at United, moving them a point ahead at the top.

Manchester City still control the title race, as the defending champions have two matches remaining to Arsenal’s one.

However, the Gunners maintained pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of their difficult trip to Tottenham on Tuesday.

Arsenal will host Everton on the last day next Sunday, while City will face West Ham.

And Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has stated that he will become the “biggest fan” of north London rivals Tottenham when they meet Manchester City on Tuesday, as the Gunners look for a twist in the Premier League title battle.

“I am going to be the biggest fan of Tottenham ever,” Havertz declared. “Let’s hope for the best!”

Pep Guardiola’s side travels to a stadium where they have lost without scoring in each of the last four Premier League seasons, and Ange Postecoglou will be hoping for a Spurs victory to enhance their chances of qualifying for European competition next year.
