In his exile in Türkiye, where he is playing on loan this season after his fight De LaurentiisSometimes we forget what a great striker he is. Victor Osimhen. he’Capocannoniere‘ of Serie A won by Naples in 2023, he led, with two goals, the clear but short victory of Galatasaray about him Tottenham (3-2), which until now He counts his games by victories in the Europa League.
The English team had almost no choice, largely outclassed from the start despite having regulars such as Pedro Porro, Maddison either Oh at eleven. Less than six minutes had passed when it was 1-0, the work of Yunus Akgün. The player is still of City of Leicester He scored one of the goals of the day with an impossible volley for the veteran Forsterwho despite the result had a great performance.
Young Lankshear draws
The tie didn’t last long. In one of the few collective plays that the ‘spurs’ were able to put together, Oh opened for Brennan Johnson and the Welshman, at first, enabled the young man Lankshearwho debuted in his second game with the first team. No more news on Tottenhamwas completely broken after half an hour, when a flurry of chances began for the local side.
There are up to four clear ones Osimhen in just 10 minutes. Three of them ended up in the back of the net, the first disallowed for an illegal position. A monster thirsty for goals from the Nigerian, sorely neglected by Dragusin and Ben Davies.
The intermission did not change the panorama for Tottenhamwho continued to watch their arrival while the Galatasaray I looked for the one with the sentence. He avoided it Forsterespecially with a saving foot within reach Osimhen in the 62nd minute. Lankshear saw his scoring debut marred by a dismissal for a double yellow, while Solankeagainst all odds, reduced the deficit coming off the bench in the 69th minute.
Four shots (for 27 of the Turks) were fired by Postecoglouwho even had 3-3 in injury time in the boots of Kulusevskywho shot with Legguard defeated. It will be a very heavy punishment for a ‘Galata‘ who, a few minutes before, had been defeated by injury to icardi.
