Nothing beats the support from a loving mother to a child. This much was witnessed on Tuesday night when Jamal Jimoh-Aloba made his premier league debut for Aston Villa, Softfootball reports.
Aston Villa lost the match against Arsenal 4-1 but to Jamal’s mother the result never mattered as the sight of her boy coming onto the pitch was victory already.
In the 82nd minute when Jamal replaced Morgan Rogers, Villa was down by 4-0 but for the mother, the joy of watching his boy fulfill his dream was worth it as she screamed at the top of her lungs with Jamal’s grandmother beside her and grandkids joining in the excitement.
It was a beautiful moment capture via the lens of Olarenwaju Aloba suspected to be his brother and shared through his official TikTok. The mother screamed:
Jamal is coming on. My son is making his debut today. Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to God). Yes Jamal! Jamal is coming on, Come on!
Before the Arsenal game, Aston Villa beat Chelsea 2-1 away at Stamford Bridge and held the Gunners to a goalless draw in the first 45 minutes on Tuesday night but the North Londoners scored four goals in the second half while Ollie Watkins grabbed a consolation for Villa.
Jamal was born in England to Nigerian parents and has played in various age grade competitions for the European country but still eligible to play for Nigeria if he chooses to in future.
