Onyekuru Grateful to the Divine for Debut Brace in Anderlecht Triumph

Super Eagles talisman, Henry Onyekuru, radiated joy as he notched a spectacular brace to open his goal account for Anderlecht, propelling them to a 3-2 victory over Lokeren in the Belgian top flight on Friday night. The 20-year-old, on loan from Everton, persevered through seven games, encompassing six league encounters and the Belgian Super Cup, before breaking the deadlock. Onyekuru’s electrifying performance saw him craft Anderlecht’s first and second goals, setting the stage for Lukasz Teodorczyk’s dramatic match-winner that sealed the triumph for the Belgian champions.

Taking to his Twitter platform, Onyekuru expressed his profound gratitude, stating, “All thanks to the most high for my first two goals for the club.” The heartfelt sentiment resonated with fans and fellow players alike, marking a momentous occasion in the young striker’s burgeoning career.

Last season, Onyekuru was an instrumental figure for Eupen, amassing an impressive tally of 24 goals in all competitions. His standout performances garnered him recognition, earning a place on the standby list for Super Eagles Head Coach Gernot Rohr’s squad, ahead of the pivotal doubleheader in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia qualifiers against Cameroon.

Onyekuru’s triumphant debut for Anderlecht not only solidifies his position as a dynamic force on the pitch but also ignites optimism for what lies ahead in his tenure with the Belgian club. As the season unfolds, fans eagerly anticipate further displays of his exceptional talent and goal-scoring prowess.
