Nigeria and Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi believes ‘the future is bright’ for the Super Eagles despite seeing their Africa Cup of Nations dream crushed by Algeria on Sunday night.
Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez sent the Algerian fans inside the Cairo International Stadium into a frenzy, after he converted a last-minute free-kick to pit the Desert Foxes against Senegal in the final.
The North Africans initially took the lead in the 40th minute – courtesy of a William Troost-Ekong own goal - however, Odion Ighalo drew the West Africans level from the penalty spot, following a handball inside the box by Aissa Mandi.
