John Obi Mikel is excited after leading Tianjin Teda to their first win of the season against rivals Tianjin Quanjian.
The 30-year-old played a crucial role to help his side squeeze past Paulo Sousa’s men in Saturday’s Chinese Super League encounter at Tianjin Tuanbo Football Stadium.
The former Chelsea midfielder had hand in all the three goals scored by Frank Acheampong which was enough to hand Uli Stielike’s charges a 3-2 victory.
Delighted with the impressive display, the Tianjin Tigers captain took to the social media to express his feelings.
“First win of the season – Done! We build from here,” Mikel tweeted.
