Osimhen found the net as Galatasaray demolished Antalyaspor 4-1 on Saturday, sending a strong message to Nigeria’s AFCON rivals. The league leaders started aggressively, with Leroy Sane opening the scoring in the seventh minute, followed by Roland Sallai doubling the lead four minutes later.

The highlight came in the 56th minute when Osimhen, receiving a precise pass from Yunus Akgün on the left wing, drove into the box and unleashed a powerful shot from a tight angle to make it 3-0. Antalyaspor pulled one back late in the game, but Mauro Icardi sealed the 4-1 win after coming off the bench. The victory lifted Galatasaray to 39 points, keeping them at the top of the league.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Fulham trio delivered standout performances as they handed Burnley their seventh consecutive Premier League defeat. Harry Wilson provided two assists before scoring Fulham’s third in an entertaining clash.

Fulham took the lead when Wilson’s low corner surprisingly beat Clarets full-back Quilindschy Hartman, allowing Emile Smith Rowe to score from close range. Burnley responded through Lesley Ugochukwu, but Fulham extended their lead just after the half-hour mark when Calvin Bassey headed in Wilson’s precise cross. Wilson then added a third for Fulham with a well-placed shot after being set up by Chukwueze. Oliver Sonne scored a late consolation for Burnley, but it was insufficient to change the outcome.

Bassey and Chukwueze played the full 90 minutes, while Iwobi was substituted in the 79th minute for Sasa Lukic.

The Super Eagles players will now join Nigeria’s AFCON training camp in Cairo, Egypt, starting Monday, December 15. A friendly against hosts Egypt is scheduled for Tuesday, ahead of the team’s departure to Fez, Morocco, where all Group C matches will be held. Nigeria will face Tunisia, Uganda, and Tanzania in the group stage, with their opening game against Tanzania set for December 23.
