Jamie Vardy's relationship with his Nigerian teammates at Leicester City has had a positive effect on his pidgin language.
The England striker scored the winner against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane to maintain their top-five status in the Premier League.
However, while the Englishman was celebrating he slid through the corner flag which got broken because it was made of plastic.
After celebrating with his teammates, the 33-year-old was shown a yellow card by the referee for damaging the corner flag but that did not have an effect on the 2-1 scoreline.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi were second-half substitutes in the game as they took their discussion about the broken corner flag to social media.
Ndidi who made his return to the Premier League after many weeks out due to injury said on Twitter with a photo of their celebration:
"Corner flag wey Vardy break .. lol."
Iheanacho also joined the discussion as he responded:
"Na corner flag of you people."
Vardy then responded in pidgin:
"No be me do am."
Vardy increased his tally in the Premier League to nine goals, one behind the league's topscorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin and level with Tottenham's Heung-Min Son.
Leicester moved ahead of Man United in fourth as they continue their bright start to life in the 2020-21 campaign.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Paul Onuachu is the highest goalscorer in all of Europe's elite leagues after taking his tally to 14 goals this season.
The Nigerian international was on target for Genk in their 4-2 win over Europa League contingents Royal Antwerp.
The 26-year-old brought his side level after Koji Miyoshi had put Antwerp in the lead in the third minute and added his second four minutes later to keep Genk in front.
Theo Bongonda added the third before another Super Eagles striker sealed the win after Dieumerci Mbokani had pulled one back.
