UNBEATABLE SPORTS ACTION

- By Joshua Odeyemi

Nigerian forward, Victor Moses has been receiving high praises from Crystal Palace fans for helping Chelsea winning the English Premier League trophy. The Blues lifted the trophy after their 1-0 win against West Bromwich Albion Friday night.

Moses had celebrated the victory with a post on his twitter handle (@VictorMose­s) yesterday that “Champions!!! Words can’t describe the emotions right now! We did this together! #CFC Family!”

Moses began his career in the Championsh­ip with Crystal Palace, joining Wigan Athletic later on, where he made his Premier League debut in 2010. After two years, European champions Chelsea signed him in the summer of 2012.

Victor Moses has played in all but three of the Blues’ Premier League games this year, scoring three goals and making two assists, starring in a wing-back role that has been a huge success for Antonio Conte.

And while Crystal Palace have largely had a season to forget, the Eagles fans were delighted for one of their own to lift the Premier League trophy on Friday night.

One Simon Hudson (@Selhurstbo­ys) said “Congratula­ltions Victor Moses. Palace academy to Premier League champion @CPFC.”

Another fan, Adam (@AdamFlinte­r) said “Congrats to Victor Moses. Fantastic achievemen­t for a #cpfc academy graduate to be a regular starter for the Premier League champions.

Jay (@JamieLisse­nburg) said “Moses came through the Palace academy. Now PL champion. Both facts. Palace fans can be proud of him.”

Also, Chris Waters (@Clapham_Grand) “Congratula­tions to Victor Moses on being a Premier League champion #cpfc #oneofourow­n.”

Kieran- Moore (@Kieran_Moore6) said “As noticed by fellow Palace fan...Palace Graduate Victor Moses is a Premier League Winner! Proud of him.”

One HLTCO (@HLTCO) said “Crystal Palace academy graduate Victor Moses is a Premier League champion. I’m incredibly proud of him.”

Moses and his club are aiming for one more trophy before the end of the season as they trade tackles with Arsenal in the 2017 FA Cup finals on Saturday, May 27.
