Wikki Tourists’ Abubakar Umar, Anthony Yelful of El-Kanemi Warriors and Rivers United forward Sochima Elum have made the shortlist for the VAT wonder goal award.
Umar’s matchday 17 goal for Wikki in the away fixture against Sunshine Stars earned him the nomination.
Anthony Yelful scored two goals as Heartland sunk to the bottom of the table after a 3-0 routing by El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri.
The final nominee Sochima Elum scored the only goal of the game — after 10 seconds of the opening whistle — as Rivers United beat Nasarawa United.
