Victor Osimhen scored on his comeback game for Napoli, while big strikers Paul Onuachu and Sadiq Umar also registered their names on the scoreboard in a weekend of so many sparkling Nigerian performances across Europe.
5.Sadiq Umar
UD Almeria are now second on the Segunda Division table thanks to the match winner by the striker against Girona. It was his 14th goal in La Liga 2 and his ambitious club now have 55 points from 28 games and looking good for an automatic ticket back to the Spanish top league.

4.Paul Onuachu
Big Paul Onuachu fired his 25th goal in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League for Genk to beat Cercle Brugge 2-0 and consolidate their position in the Top Four after a poor run in the league. Genk remain third in the standings on 49 points and very much in with a shout to make the championship playoffs with four rounds of matches still to be played in the regular season.
3.Simeon Nwankwo
‘Simy’ has now fired 10 goals in the Italian Serie A after his brace helped Crotone to record a rare win over Torino. Nwankwo, 28, scored the opening goal of the game in the 27th minute, before he made it 2-1 for his team in the 54th minute. However, his struggling team Crotone remain rock bottom on the league table with 15 points in 26 games.
2.Kelechi Iheanacho
‘Seniorman Keltz’ scored another beauty for Leicester City to stay in the hunt for a Top Four finish in the Premier League this season. His late dinked effort against Brighton proved to be the match winner and it is also now been talked about in the same breath with his superb strike against Burnley just a few days earlier. ‘The Foxes’ are now third in the Premier League, a point behind second-placed Manchester United.
1.Victor Osimhen
The Super Eagles star came off the bench to double Napoli lead in a 3-1 home win over Bologna in the Serie A. It was a redemption game for the striker, who has endured injury, Coronavirus infection and controversies in his short time in Italy. This goal will most certainly boost his self-belief as he now goes about justifying his record transfer to Italy.
