Afcon title victory with Nigeria 'one of the best moments' of my career – Emenike

Emmanuel Emenike has described winning the Africa Cup of Nations as one of the best moments of his career.

The former Fenerbahce striker played a significant role as the Super Eagles nicked a third continental title in South Africa in 2013 under the guidance of Stephen Keshi.

The forward scored four goals in the tournament to emerge as the joint-top scorer, including a stunning 30-yard free-kick against Ivory Coast, despite missing the final against Burkina Faso due to an injury.

Emenike, who won the Super Lig title and Super Cup with Fenerbahce, has picked the Afcon title as one of his memorable moments.
