One of the stars of the past week in Europe will be Chrisantus Uche after his heroics got Getafe off to a winning start in La Liga, while winger Solomon John helped himself to a hat-trick for his Czech club to win at home.
5 Emeka Eze
Experienced striker Emeka Eze was among the goals for Corum FK to win 3-0 at Adana Demirspor. He is expected to get the goals for Corum to gain promotion to the Turkish Super Lig this season.
4 Elijah Odebe
The youngster snatched a late equalizer for perennial Moldovan champions Sheriff to hold Belgian powerhouses Anderlecht to a 1-1 draw in a UEFA Conference League qualifier. Odebe’s strike at least saved the home team some blushes even though they still exited the competition 4-1 on aggregate.
3 Ola Aina
The fullback continued where he left off last season as he shone for Nottingham Forest to begin the new Premier League campaign with a 3-1 home win over Brentford. He featured from start to finish, making two big tackles and winning eight duels.
2.Solomon John
The former Remo Stars left winger opened his goals account in the Czech Republic in super style after he fired a hat-trick for FK Mlada Boleslav to edge past FC Hradec Kralove 3-2. John hit target in the eighth, 31st and 61st minute for his treble.
Christantus Uche at it again🚨
