Super Eagles stars have goals in their boots as Ademola Lookman, Peter Olayinka, Paul Onuachu and Chidozie Awaziem all led their clubs to victories in Europe this past weekend.
5.Chidozie Awaziem
Defender Chidozie Awaziem was the match winner for Hadjuk Split to win at bottom team Rijeka in the Croatian league. The Boavista loanee has now scored twice in the league and Hadjuk Split climb to second place on the table with 20 points from 10 matches. However, they are 11 points adrift of leaders Dinamo Zagreb.
4.Peter Olayinka
After a slow start in the league, Olayinka has finally opened his goals account for champions Slavia Praha in a 3-0 home win over Slovan Liberec. He has been prolific in the UEFA Europa Conference League for the Czech club to now be the team’s all-time leading scorer in Europe. His club of four years are now a point behind table toppers Vitoria Plzen.
3.Terem Moffi
He lived up to expectations of Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro with a goal against Algeria in a friendly in Oran Tuesday to underline his red-hot form in the French Ligue 1 with surprise team of the season FC Lorient. But for unselfish play he could even have doubled the lead Nigeria. The left-footed striker has certainly enhanced his chances in the Super Eagles on the evidence of what he produced in Algeria.
2.Paul Onuachu
Big Paul showed he has fully recovered from injury he suffered in pre-season with his first goal in the league for Genk to win 2-1 at KV Oostende. Last season, he netted 21 goals and he will be aiming to at least match this tally after he finally broke his duck this past weekend.

1.Ademola Lookman
Atalanta snapped up the Super Eagles winger for a bargain 11 Million Euros and already he has started paying off this investment after he struck the winner against Fiorentina in Serie A. This was days after his good goal for the Super Eagles against Algeria was chalked off by the referee. He now has two goals and three assists and Atalanta are tied on 20 points apiece with Napoli, who only enjoy a better goals’ difference.
