22-year-old Miedema, who scored a goal and assisted another in the 4-0 win at Brighton earlier on Sunday, beat Manchester City trio Steph Houghton, Nikita Parris and Keira Walsh, as well as Ji So-Yun and Erin Cuthbert of Chelsea to the award.

Miedema is the WSL top scorer this season with 22 goals from 19 matches played, and could have had a 23rd goal at Brighton – who have Super Falcons striker, Ini Umotong, in their first team – only to see her headed effort come off the bar.

Meanwhile, her compatriot, van Dijk, beat another set of Man. City players in Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero as well as Bernardo Silva to the award. His Liverpool team-mate, Sadio Mane, as well as Chelsea talisman, Eden Hazard, were the other nominees for the award.

In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion? This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area.

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights. A passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing. The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard.
