3.Kazeem Olaigbe

The young forward of Nigerian descent won the UEFA Conference League Goal of the Week courtesy of one of his two goals for Cercle Brugge in a 4-1 trouncing of Olimpija Ljubljana. He rolled the ball to the side of his marker on top of the box before he fired an unstoppable cracker right into the roof of the net. It was a sensational finish. He also provided an assist on the day.

The Super Eagles midfielder got his second goal in the UEFA Europa League for Lazio to beat Ajax 3-1. He has also provided two assists in the competition in four appearances.

Dele Bashiru settling in at Lazio

1.Ademola Lookman

He was named Man of the Match ahead of the Galaticos from Real Madrid despite Atalanta falling to a 3-2 home loss to the reigning European champions. His great strike that beat Thibaut Courtois at the near post made it more of a contest between Atalanta and Real Madrid than when both teams clashed in August in the Super Cup and La Liga giants ran away 2-0 winners. The crowning glory for ‘Mola’ will be tonight in Marrakech, Morocco.
