Moses celebrates 200th Premier League appearance
Super Eagles and Chelsea forward, Victor Moses is “honoured” to have made his 200th Premier League appearance in a 3-1 win over Huddersfield on Tuesday night.
Moses, who clocked 27 years on Tuesday, was in action throughout the game as his side levelled on points with Manchester United on the league table.
Chelsea were defeated 1-0 last weekend at West Ham, a game that came after they missed out of top spot in their Champions League group with a draw against Atletico Madrid.

But the Blues bounced back with a win to resume their fight for top four finish and hopefully to retain the title they won last season.
Moses early Wednesday went on social media to tweet: “Great character from the lads to bounce back tonight! big win! honoured to have made my 200th Premier League appearance too #CFC.”
The 2017 CAF Footballer of the Year began his career at Crystal Palace in 2007, moved to Wigan Athletic in 2010 before switching to Chelsea in 2012.
He has also had loan moves to Liverpool in 2013, Stoke City in 2014 and West Ham in 2015, but returned to the Chelsea squad in 2016 and helped them lift the Premier League trophy.
