Alvaro Morata came off the bench to score a brace after he'd initially gone five games without finding the back of the net.

Osimhen's strike tonight was his 31st of the season for Galatasaray this season in all competitions. He's also provided eight assists. The ex-LOSC Lille man equalled his best goalscoring form of the 2022/2023 season that saw him lift the Scudetto with Napoli.

After the game, the Napoli loanee was delighted his side sealed all three points in style, as it lit up the path for them to become league champions.

“I'm very happy because we won. Winning this match was very important. We needed more points. I'm very happy to have contributed with 1 goal and 1 assist. I'm also happy for Morata.

“These points are very important on the path to the championship. As Galatasaray, we are focused on ourselves and approach each match separately. We will look forward to the next match,” the former VFL Wolfsburg striker said in quotes revealed by SPOR.

With five league games left to play, Galatasaray are currently five points clear at the top of the Turkish Super Lig. Victor Osimhen is leading the race for the league's golden boot with 22 goals, three above Krzysztof Piatek.
