It was a productive weekend for Nigerian footballers across Europe, with several Super Eagles stars stepping up in crucial moments for their clubs.
Whether chasing titles, pushing for European qualification or battling to avoid relegation, Naija talent was firmly at the centre of the action.
England
Alex Iwobi marked the 250th start of his Premier League career in style, scoring in Fulham’s 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Craven Cottage. It was his fourth league goal of the season and his second in consecutive matches, underlining his growing influence as Fulham push for European qualification. Calm in the box and composed in the finish, Iwobi once again stepped up in a big moment.
Fellow Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze came on in the 68th minute, while Calvin Bassey completed the full 90.

In the Championship, Frank Onyeka featured for 55 minutes as Coventry City secured another important win in their push for automatic promotion. The Nigerian midfielder continues to play a steady role in their strong campaign.
Turkey
Victor Osimhen delivered both a goal and an assist as Galatasaray beat Alanyaspor 3-1 in the Turkish Super Lig. The striker first set up Lucas Torreira with a brilliant bicycle kick before sealing the win with his tenth league goal of the season. With 10 goals and four assists in 16 appearances, Osimhen remains one of the division’s most decisive players.
Trabzonspor also benefited from Nigerian firepower. Paul Onuachu scored for the seventh consecutive league game, continuing his remarkable run of form, while Chibuike Nwaiwu grabbed a brace in the same 3-1 victory. Onuachu’s consistency in front of goal is becoming a defining feature of Trabzonspor’s season.

Portugal
Terem Moffi got off the mark for FC Porto, scoring in stoppage time during a 3-1 win over Arouca. The Super Eagles forward, on loan from OGC Nice, reacted sharply inside the box to slide home and secure the result. The goal could prove a turning point as he looks to build momentum in Portugal.
Spain
Ademola Lookman featured for Atlético Madrid in their narrow 1-0 away win over Real Oviedo, as Diego Simeone’s side continued their push near the top of La Liga.
Umar Sadiq played a decisive role in Valencia’s 1-0 victory over Osasuna, earning the penalty that secured three crucial points in their battle to remain in the division. Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke were also involved as Sevilla fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Real Betis.
