Victor Osimhen continued his blistering form in the Turkish Süper Lig as Galatasaray recorded a comfortable 3–0 victory over Rizespor, with the Nigerian striker once again finding the back of the net.
The 27-year-old opened his account in the match to take his league tally to nine goals for the season, underlining his growing influence since settling into life in Turkey. Osimhen has now registered nine goals and one assist from just 15 league appearances, numbers that reflect his consistency and sharpness in front of goal.
The Nigerian forward is currently enjoying one of the best scoring runs of his career, having scored in five consecutive league matches. During that stretch, he has racked up six goals, tormenting opposition defences week after week.
His recent victims include Rizespor, Kayserispor, Fatih Karagümrük, Antalyaspor, and Samsunspor, whom he struck twice against, showcasing his ability to deliver against different styles of opposition.
Full of confidence, physically dominant, and ruthless in the penalty area, Osimhen is in irresistible form. At the moment, he looks every bit the complete striker — powerful, decisive, and exactly the kind of forward defenders in the Süper Lig dread coming up against.
