Nigeria and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen celebrated his 22nd goal of the season in the Super Lig and 31st in all competitions as Galatasaray secured another important win.
Nigeria and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen delivered another statement performance on Sunday, netting his 31st goal of the season as Galatasaray cruised to a commanding 5-1 victory over Eyupspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
Osimhen, who has faced questions about his ability since his high-profile move to Istanbul, silenced critics with a dynamic display.
The 26-year-old was instrumental from the start, providing the assist for Roland Sallai’s opener before setting up Lucas Torreira to double Galatasaray’s lead after the break.
Osimhen then got on the scoresheet himself in the 71st minute, making it 3-0 and effectively sealing the result for the league leaders.
Alvaro Morata came off the bench to add two late goals, ensuring Galatasaray’s dominance was reflected on the scoreboard.
Eyupspor managed a consolation through Luccas Claro, but it did little to dampen the visitors’ celebrations.
With this latest strike, Osimhen boasts 22 goals in the Super Lig and 31 in all competitions for the season, a tally that underlines his status as one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
His blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing has been key to Galatasaray’s title charge, keeping them five points clear of Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe at the top of the table with just five matches remaining.
Osimhen’s consistency and Morata’s impact off the bench show Galatasaray’s attacking depth as they chase domestic glory and aim to make a splash in Europe.
For Osimhen, this performance is a resounding answer to his doubters and a timely reminder of his world-class pedigree.
