Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has won the Goal of the Season award in Turkey, Prompt News reports.
Osimhen scooped the award for his spectacular strike in Galatasaray’s 3-0 victory over Antalyaspor.
The acrobatic finish, which came deep into stoppage time, was a moment of magic after Mauro Icardi had given Galatasaray a two-goal lead.
With the home side failing to clear a late set piece, he seized the opportunity—allowing the ball to bounce before launching a stunning overhead kick that found the back of the net.
It was the Nigeria international’s third goal of the season for Okan Buruk’s side.
The 26-year-old finished the campaign as top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig with 26 goals.
He netted 37 goals across all competitions in what was eventful loan spell at Galatasaray.
