The moment Lacazette fell to the ground, referee Jon Moss pointed straight to the spot mid-way through the second half.

Referencing the episode, Spurs fan Haaris said: "These man complain about Kane diving yet Aubameyang and Lacazette dive in consecutive games to win a penalty."

User The Man Utd Way summed up the frustrations of the visiting fans by stating: "A clear dive from Lacazette. Have to say, on second look, that is straight up embarrassing."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
