Nigeria’s Super Eagles Victor Osimhen’s two goals pushed Galatasaray to the Turkish League title win on Saturday.
The energetic forward scored twice in the second half to lead Galatasaray to a come from behind 4-2 win over Antalyaspor in Istanbul to seal the club’s fourth league crown on the bounce.
Osimhen returned earlier from injury recently to ensure Galatasaray got over the line in the title challenge ahead of their arch rivals Fenerbahce, and he was inspirational with two goals that will further cement his status as a big game player and local hero.
The former Lille striker netted the penalty that restored parity at 2-2 after the hour, before producing an instinctive flicked effort that was deflected into the net to give Galatasaray the lead for the first time in the match on 88 minutes.
Kaan Ayhan added the fourth on 90 minutes, with fans already celebrating another title at the expense of their city rivals.
Galatasaray’s Saturday feat made it their 26th league title, while Osimhen claimed a second league title medal in Turkey, and the third in his career.
Osimhen, who is already the subject of interest from top European clubs with Arsenal Sporting Director watching him recently, has scored 15 league goals this season despite battling injuries.
