EPL Wrap: Abraham Scores, Moses Stars, Success Bench, Ndidi Starts, Solanke Among Subs
A round-up of Nigerian players that were in action for their respective clubs in the English Premier League on Saturday, September 23.

Nigerian players with dual nationalities that have played competitively for the senior national teams of other countries have been omitted.

At Goodison Park, Everton came from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1. Former England U21 star Jordon Ibe put in a full shift for the Cherries, while Ademola Lookman was on the bench for the Toffees.

Oumar Niasse came off the bench to net a brace for the home team after Joshua King opened the scoring in the 49th minute.

Tosin Adarabioyo wasn't involved in Manchester City's 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace. Former Flying Eagles invitee Freddie Ladapo didn't make the Eagles 18 as he featured for the U23s on Friday.

Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling (2), Sergio Aguero and Fabian Delph wrote their names on the score-sheet for Pep Guardiola's team.

A hat-trick from Chelsea's record signing Alvaro Morata and an additional tally from Pedro secured three points for the defending champions against Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium (Stoke-on-Trent).

Super Eagles winger Victor Moses put in an impressive ninety-minute shift for the Blues against his former club, where he spent the 2014-15 season on loan.

England U21 striker Tammy Abraham, who made international headlines this week, netted his second Premier League goal of the season in Swansea City's 2-1 loss to Watford at the Liberty Stadium.

Having entered into the fray in the 46th minute, Abraham equalized for the home team in the 56th minute, only for Richarlison to net a late, late winner for the Hornets, for whom Isaac Success was an unused substitute.

In the late kickoff between Leicester City and Liverpool at the King Power Stadium, Wilfred Ndidi starts for the Foxes.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Dominic Solanke are on the bench for their respective teams.
