Onyekuru Secures Late Victory for Anderlecht Against Standard Liège

In a stunning display of skill and precision, Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru showcased his goal-scoring prowess once again, securing a crucial late winner for Anderlecht in their 1-0 triumph over Standard Liège in a Belgian top-flight clash on Sunday. The Nigerian forward’s impact proved decisive as he broke the deadlock in the 89th minute, clinching three vital points for Anderlecht.

Onyekuru’s recent stellar performance adds to his growing list of contributions to the Belgian outfit. Having previously secured his first brace for Anderlecht in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Lokeren in the Belgian First Division A last month, the 20-year-old continued his goal-scoring spree by netting his third goal of the season in a 2-2 draw against Kortrijk in September.

The Sunday victory against Standard Liège marks Onyekuru’s fifth goal in the last eight games for Anderlecht since joining the club on a season-long loan from Everton. His consistent and impactful displays on the field underscore his significance to the team’s success in the Belgian top-flight league.

While Onyekuru’s remarkable form is evident, it’s worth noting his absence from the Super Eagles squad set to face Zambia in a crucial World Cup qualifier in Uyo on Saturday. As Anderlecht basks in the glory of their recent triumph, Onyekuru’s late heroics continue to solidify his reputation as a rising star in European football.
