February 25, 2021 Man City Earn Comfortable First Leg Advantage Over Monchengladbach

Man City Earn Comfortable First Leg Advantage Over Monchengladbach

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his side "have to be more clinical" despite seeing another dominant display sweep aside Borussia Monchengladbach for a 19th successive win.

Guardiola's team - favorites to win their first Champions League title this season - were far too good for their meek last-16 opposition in Budapest, and perhaps should have added to the first-leg lead given to them by Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus.

"In general, we controlled the game. Unfortunately we were not clinical enough up front," Guardiola told BT Sport.

"That is something we have to improve in this competition. Up front we have to be more clinical. In this competition you have to be perfect to make sure you go through."

Silva headed in a wonderful cross from Joao Cancelo to open the scoring, before the same two players combined to lay on the second for Jesus.

Gladbach, appearing at this stage of the competition for the first time in 43 years, had no answer and would need something close to a sporting miracle to turn the tie around when the sides meet in Manchester on 16 March.

Fred Nzeako Asks New EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa Not To Be Selective In Handling Corruption Cases

The newly confirmed EFCC Chairman, ABDULRASHEED BAWA has been urged not to be selective in handling corruption cases by the agency.

He was also advised to live above board and avoid playing to the gallery of the powers that be.  

Constitutional lawyer, FRED NZEAKO and the Executive Director of the Development Specs Agency, OKEY IKECHUKWU gave this advise on a monitored program in reaction to the senate confirmation of BAWA.

According to FRED NZEAKO, one of the first tasks before BAWA is to put an end to inter-agency rivalry with the ICPC.

On his part, OKEY IKECHUKWU said the EFCC boss should do away with unnecessary media trial during his reign.

ABDULRASHEED BAWA was grilled by the Senators before his confirmation.

Responding to some of the questions, BAWA, denied selling recovered assets while serving as Port Harcourt Zonal Officer of the EFCC.

He also denied that he was arrested by former acting EFCC Chairman, IBRAHIM MAGU for undisclosed reasons.

Dele Alli Stars As Spurs Ease Into Europa League Round Of 16

Dele Alli scored a stunning overhead kick as Tottenham beat Wolfsberger 4-0 to cruise into the Europa League last 16 with an 8-1 aggregate victory.

Alli marked his return to the Spurs starting line-up with a sensational bicycle kick inside 10 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and sealed a man-of-the-match performance with second-half assists for Carlos Vinicius and Gareth Bale.

With Spurs' 4-1 first-leg lead extended to an even more handsome advantage, Jose Mourinho took the opportunity to blood some youngsters, with 16-year-old Dane Scarlett registering his first senior assist for the club as Vinicius doubled his tally late on.

The victory provided Spurs with some much-needed respite from their stuttering domestic campaign and sees them become the first British side to qualify for the last 16 ahead of Friday's draw.
