Premier League table after matchday 32: Where Ndidi, Iwobi, Onuachu, Aribo, and Aina’s clubs stand

Soccer

Matchday 32 of the English Premier League delivered more twists for Super Eagles players and their clubs as the season inches closer to the finish line, Soccernet.ng reports.

For several Nigerian internationals, the weekend’s results either tightened the noose around relegation fears or revived their dreams of European football.

Here’s how things stand for Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Paul Onuachu, Joe Aribo, Ola Aina, and their respective clubs after another dramatic round of matches.

Ndidi’s Leicester City – 19th

It was another weekend of dropped points for Wilfred Ndidi and Leicester City. The Foxes played out a 2-2 draw against Brighton, a result that does little to improve their relegation fight.

Now sitting 19th on the table with 18 points from 32 matches, the 2016 champions are stuck in a downward spiral, having managed just four wins all season.

Onuachu and Aribo’s Southampton – 20th

Southampton’s misery continued as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo’s side remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just 10 points from 32 games.

With only two wins all season and a goal difference of -54, the Saints are all but doomed to drop. Their current form – no wins in the last five – shows a team already preparing for life outside the Premier League.

Iwobi and Bassey’s Fulham – 9th

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were unable to prevent Fulham from falling to a narrow 1-0 loss against Bournemouth.

The result sees the Cottagers drop to 9th place, still on 48 points. While a top-seven finish remains mathematically possible, Fulham need a strong finish to the season to stay in the hunt for a European spot.

Iwobi continues to be a crucial part of their attacking build-up, and Bassey has impressed with his defensive work, but the team must rediscover consistency quickly.

Aina and Awoniyi’s Nottingham Forest – 3rd

Nottingham Forest’s fairytale campaign took a minor hit as they fell 1-0 to Everton, but Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi’s side still hold a Champions League spot with 56 points in third place.

Despite the defeat, Forest’s rise continues to stun Premier League football faithful, and their goal now will be to hold off surging rivals in the final minutes of the campaign.
