The Nigeria international with the Super Eagles has been in fine form for his club this season.

Nigerian international Anayo Iwuala continued his impressive run of form, netting his fifth consecutive goal to propel Al Arabi to a 2-1 victory over Al Qadsia in the Kuwaiti Premier League.

The win keeps Al Arabi at the summit of the league table with a perfect record of nine points from three matches.

Iwuala, who joined Al Arabi from Tunisian giants Esperance, has hit the ground running in Kuwait, proving to be an invaluable asset for his new club.

The former Enyimba winger opened the scoring after the hour mark against Al Qadsia, marking his third goal in as many matches this season.

The Super Eagles star's scoring streak began in the season opener against Kazma, where he found the back of the net to kickstart Al Arabi's campaign.

He followed this up with another goal in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Al-Tadamon the following week.

Iwuala's rich vein of form is a continuation of his performances from the previous season, where he notched two crucial goals against Al-Jahra and Al-Nasr.

His ability to consistently deliver in front of goal has been a key factor in Al Arabi's flawless start to the new campaign.

The Nigerian's contributions have helped Al Arabi establish a three-point lead at the top of the Kuwaiti Premier League, with Al- Kuwait currently occupying second place.

In contrast, Al Qadsia's defeat sees them slip to 7th position with just three points to their name.

As Iwuala continues to shine, both Al Arabi fans and Super Eagles followers will continue to keep tabs on the talented winger hoping he can extend his impressive goal-scoring run in the coming fixtures.

His performances not only bolster Al Arabi's title aspirations but also strengthen his case for more prominent roles in the Super Eagles setup after he earned his debut under former manager Gernot Rohr, who recently broke the hearts of Nigerians.
