Paul Onuachu tonight finished the regular league season as Goal King of Belgium with 29 goals when he scored twice for Genk in a five-goal thriller at closest rivals Antwerp.
The 26-year-old striker thus became the third Nigeria star to top the goals chart in Belgium after Tosin Dosunmu and Joseph Akpala.
This record was a remarkable improvement from the nine goals he scored last season.
Onuachu opened scoring after just 22 minutes in the shootout between second and third.
He completed his brace in the 64th minute, when he put away a penalty.
A big-money transfer to a major league now beckons for Genk giant striker.
Genk lost 3-2 at the death, but remain third on the table with 56 points from 34 matches, a point ahead of fourth-placed Anderlecht, who play tomorrow.
Antwerp finished runners-up in the regular season behind Club Brugge with an unassailable 60 points.
The top four clubs will advance to the championship playoffs to decide the teams to feature in next season’s UEFA Champions League and Europa League.
