England beat Nigeria 2-1 on Saturday evening in a friendly clash at Wembley ahead of the World Cup this summer.

With a distinctly Nigerian flavour, these were the best jokes from the game:

Nigeria’s jersey remains finer than the England one. If you need some half time consolation #ENGNGA

That thing Moses did to Harry Kane, if we don’t score a second goal before the end of the game, FIFA will count that for us #ENGNGA

Nigeria’s goalkeeper has obviously been attending the Karius school of excellence #ENGNGA
