ARSENAL academy product, Alex Iwobi has broken his silence after Nigeria's elimination from the ongoing AFCON tournament in Cameroon.
The Everton midfielder was substituted into the game against Tunisia in the second half, but earned a straight red card just a few minutes after he was brought on.
Alex Iwobi was among the players blamed for the loss, with Goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye taking a huge shame of the blame as he was criticised for not keeping the ball out of the net.
Writing on Instagram, Iwobi said : "Moments of joy can quickly turn into pain and anguish. As much as it's a part of football, we came for more. Our fans who shared these moments with us both in Cameroon and across the world deserved more. The beauty of the game is the next moment of jubilation is never too far round the corner. We will be back to fight for our nation, stronger. We owe it to you, and I owe it to myself, thank you for all the words of support and encouragement –it doesn't go unnoticed."
It is also worthy to note that following a lot of criticism and harassment from football fans, Iwobi had deactivated the comment section on his instagram page before making the post.
