Man United legend hails Super Eagles star Boniface after replicating Arsenal hero’s technique

Bayer Leverkusen defeated Feyenoord 4-0, with Boniface making his debut in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

The 23-year-old Nigerian star was impressive and produced a remarkable skill leading to his team’s second goal.

Boniface performed a Thierry Henry-like skill to pass the ball to his teammate for Bayer Leverkusen’s second goal against Feyenoord in the Champions League on Thursday.

Owen Hargreaves expressed his excitement at Boniface's trick and showered the Nigerian striker with compliments.

Speaking on TNT Football, Hargreaves said, “Great work, proper, if he did that in training people would be going mad, but to do that in a game, that’s brilliant.

“Some people think that he didn’t really mean that, but it’s honestly just a touch of class. Really really cool.

The Nigerian international attracted a lot of attention with a sly pass that led to his team's second goal. 

Boniface positioned himself in front of the box, ready to fire with his right foot, but he kicked the ball with his left instead.

The legendary Thierry Henry of Arsenal was the last player in mainstream Europe to produce that kind of pass.

Bayer Leverkusen will welcome Wolfsburg on Sunday in the Bundesliga and Boniface will be looking to help his team claim another win.
