Super Falcons captain Asisat Oshoala will be Nigeria’s top performer for the past week after her treble for Barcelona in a big win at Valencia.
5.Rabiu Ibrahim
The experienced midfielder does not score many goals but he got one as his Slovak club Slovan Bratislava won comfortably at Spartak Trnava. It was his second goal in 10 appearances. Bratislava won the league and cup double last season and they are currently top of the standings with 41 points from 17 matches.
4.’Simy’ Nwankwo
The striker provided an assist for FC Crotone to record their first win since their return to Serie A courtesy of a 4-1 win over another promoted side Spezia. Crotone will need more wins if they hope to stay up in the Italian top flight by the end of the season.
3.Moses Simon
The Super Eagles winger scored his second goal this season for FC Nantes to draw 1-1 at home with Dijon. It has been tough going for ‘The Canaries’ this season as they are now at the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table, unlike last season when they were pushing for a top-four finish.
2.Sadiq Umar
UD Almeria continue to do battle in their quest to return to La Liga thanks in part to the goals of Sadiq Umar, who netted his sixth goal for them to rack up another vital home win against Malaga. Almeria are now within striking distance of the two teams in the automatic promotion spots – Mallorca and Espanyol.
1.Asisat Oshoala
She fired a hat-trick as Barcelona Ladies thrashed hosts Valencia 7-0. Oshoala has now scored six goals this season as her club aim to go top of the standings. They are now third on the table with 24 points from eight matches, two points behind surprise leaders Granadilla Tenerife, who have played three more games.
