'Critics can only make me better' - 'Disappointing' Onazi apologises for England showing

The 25-year-old was far from his best as the Super Eagles bowed to the Three Lions but is aiming to improve ahead of the global tournament

Ogenyi Onazi has apologised following his unimpressive showing in Nigeria's loss to England, and has vowed to 'get better'.

The defensive midfielder was part of a Super Eagles side that underperformed in the first half of the encounter at Wembley, as they went down to goals from Gary Cahil and Harry Kane.

Asides his shaky performance at the base of the midfield, Onazi was particularly criticised for the part he played as Kane doubled the Three Lions' lead in the 39th minute.
