Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form on Sunday, scoring his 31st goal of the season to help Galatasaray secure a dominant 5-1 win over Eyupspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
Osimhen, who has faced some criticism since his high-profile move to Galatasaray, responded in emphatic style, providing an assist and scoring a goal in a commanding performance. The 26-year-old played a pivotal role in the match from the start, setting up Roland Sallai for the opener and then assisting Lucas Torreira for the second goal after halftime.
Osimhen’s strike in the 71st minute made it 3-0, effectively sealing the win for the league leaders. Alvaro Morata, who came off the bench, added two more late goals, while Eyupspor managed a consolation goal through Luccas Claro.
With this latest goal, Osimhen now has 22 goals in the Super Lig and 31 in all competitions for the season, underlining his importance to Galatasaray’s title charge. His performances have been a key factor in Galatasaray’s five-point lead at the top of the Super Lig, with just five matches remaining.
Osimhen’s performance is a strong response to his critics and reinforces his status as one of Europe’s top strikers. His blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing continues to make him one of the most sought-after players in European football.
With Osimhen’s consistency and Morata’s impact off the bench, Galatasaray are well-positioned to chase domestic glory and make an impact in Europe as well.
