Osimhen Brace Powers Galatasaray Past Fenerbahçe, Reclaims Top Spot

Victor Osimhen scored twice as Galatasaray beat Fenerbahçe 2-1 in the Istanbul derby Sunday, reclaiming top spot in the Turkish Süper Lig. The Nigeria striker struck in the 29th and 44th minutes before Fenerbahçe's İrfan Kahveci pulled one back in the 62nd. Galatasaray held on for a massive win.

The brace follows Osimhen's goal against former club Lille in the Champions League last week, answering critics who questioned his form earlier this season. The 27-year-old insisted he's unfazed by social media noise: "I love this club. I will give everything for this club. I don't care about social media. I see the fans. Galatasaray fans have always been behind me since I arrived."

The win puts Galatasaray top of the table. For Super Eagles fans, Osimhen's return to scoring form comes at a crucial time with international fixtures looming.

Can Osimhen sustain this momentum and carry it into Nigeria's next matches, or will the old inconsistency return?
