By OVIRI KELVIN, Sports Editor, Abuja
Lukas Nmecha was in the spotlight on Saturday as VFL Wolfsburg thrashed Arminia 4-0 in the Bundesliga clash on matchday 29.
The German international with Nigeria roots opened the scoring in 11 minutes and completed his brace in the 38th minute to pave way for M. Arnold and M Kruse to wrap up the demolition of Arminia in the 48th and 53rd minutes respectively.
Nmecha first joined the German club on a season-long loan from Manchester City and later signed a permanent deal on July 16, 2021. Having lost to Augsburg in the last Bundesliga game, a close rival on the league table, Nmecha led resurgence against Arminia to leapfrog Augsburg which lost 1-0 to Bayern Munchen.
