Onyekuru nets goal #20 in Belgium

Nigerian striker, Henry Onyekuru struck for the 20th time this season for Eupen in the Belgian playoffs, but it was all a consolation as they were beaten 2-1 by Racing Genk.

The 19-year old striker, reportedly on the radar of Arsenal and Chelsea, found the back of the net in the 76th minute after he punished some lax defending by Genk in the playoff match decided on Sunday.

Onyekuru scored 12 goals during the regular Belgian season, two in the Belgian Cup and has now scored six goals in the Europa League playoffs.

Meanwhile, Kayode Olarenwaju was on target again in the Austrian Bundesliga as he took his tally across all competitions to 21 goals.

Kayode on Sunday got the equaliser for Austria Wien in their 1-1 away draw against Altach.

The Nigeria international found the back of the net in the 39 minute as he canceled the earlier goal scored by Nikola Dovedan for Altach.
