SCORENigeria Top 5: Chukwueze, Osimhen, Chrisantus Uche match winners again

by

Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen and Chrisantus Uche were all decisive for their various European clubs this past weekend.

5.Cyriel Dessers

The unsettled Super Eagles striker followed up on his Europa League goal at Manchester United to score for Rangers to beat Dundee United 3-1. He has now scored 19 goals this season, but speculations persist that he could exit the Glasgow giants in this transfer window after he lost his first-team place.

4.Philip Otele

The striker could not have hoped for a more impactful debut as he scored and made an assist for FC Basel to thrash FC Sion 4-1 in the Swiss Super League. He played only 26 minutes after coming off the bench for his debut. More of such displays will earn him a permanent move to the Swiss side at the end of this loan deal.

3.Victor Osimhen

His penalty goal proved to be the match winner for Galatasaray to edge past Konyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig clash. He has now banged 12 goals in the league, three goals shy of the leading scorer. This home win ended a winless run by Gala. The defending champions now have 54 points from 20 matches, six points clear of closest challengers and city rivals Fenerbache.

This is how to stop Osimhen…

2.Chrisantus Uche

The youngster posted a Man-of-the-Match performance with a goal and an assist for Getafe to beat Real Sociedad 3-0 in the Spanish La Liga. It is only his second La Liga goal since he scored on his debut last year. The win has lifted his club to 14th on the table with 23 points from 21 matches. They are now three points clear of the relegation zone.

1.Samuel Chukwueze

He was another Nigerian Super Sub hero this past weekend as he came off the bench to scramble home the winner for AC Milan to stage a miraculous comeback to beat Parma in the Italian Serie A. He was named the Man of the Match. It was a fitting way to announce his return after an injury layoff with his second goal in the league. But the question still remains whether Milan could ship him out on loan in this winter transfer window as he does not command a regular first-team spot.
