'Thanks for always helping' – Boniface praises Xhaka after viral photo

Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface has hailed teammate Granit Xhaka following Bayer Leverkusen’s triumph against Werder Bremen.

The Bundesliga table toppers continued their fine form as they defeated Bremen, securing a 3-0 victory courtesy of goals from Jeremie Frimpong, Alejandro Grimaldo, and an own goal.

The victory was, however, clouded by viral a photo of the former Swiss international helping Boniface tie his shoelaces, a gesture Boniface acknowledged in a post on his Instagram feed.

Despite not scoring, the Super Eagles attacker praised the team’s victory, acknowledging its importance as they top the Bundesliga table with 34 points, two points ahead of the league giant, Bayer Munich.

“Important win. Thanks, Granit Xhaka for always helping,” Boniface wrote.

With 229 appearances for the Gunners, 31-year-old Xhaka moved to Leverkusen in a €25 million deal around the same time Boniface joined the German club. As new teammates, their bond continues to grow within the team.
