Kenilworth Road, Luton, UK – Na, we don see am! FA Cup first round come begin with some serious heat as Luton Town don show say dem dey ready for action. Last night, dem put Forest Green Rovers for their place, as dem hammer dem 2-0 before halftime. Seriously, na wetin dem dey chop for field wey make dem play like dat?
Jack Wilshere, wey be the Luton gaffer, don really set the pace. As dem enter field, e no take time at all before Lamine Fanne drop the first goal, thanks to nice pass from Nakhi Wells, wey also later show him head to score the second one when Forest Green keeper Fiachra Pagel mess up big time with free-kick.
Na so, dem begin dey feel demself, abi? Forest Green try to show say dem go respond, but I swear, Luton defense no gree give dem even one chance. Na one blocked shot wey Jili Buyabu suppose turn into goal na him dem manage collect. I no go lie, if no be Teden Menghi wey dey protect Luton goal, na dem go don equalize by now! Na the same problem wey dey worry Forest Green; dem dey drop passes like say dem wan gift Luton full basket of goal.
As halftime reach, Luton don dey jubilate with their two-goal lead. But wetin we go see for second half? (E be like say we dey expect some drama ol’ school style). We no fit forget the matter when Nakhi Wells should don score hat-trick but miss am by inches – wey be like say he wan dey underplay dem style.
Forest Green get some chances too, but na dem dey waste am. E be like say dem no fit handle the pressure wey Luton dey put for dem neck. All this wahala wey dey happen, e dey remind me of one time when you dey play local match for street, and your padi dey reason like Ronaldo but dey kick like him younger brother.
But true talk, Forest Green players no gree give up. Dem dey fight back, but Luton defense strong like iron. Na so wahala dey carry dem go. We go see if Robbie Savage go fit jolificate for dem second half or if dem go just carry their body go back home like say dem no come for party.
Match dey hot, and we dey expect more excitement as we fit enter second half. Na wetin we go see after break? E go sweet if Forest Green fit level the matter. But for now, Luton don make their statement clear: dem dey here no be beans!
