After registering three assists in his first three games for Galatasaray, Nigeria's Victor Osimhen opened his goal account in his fourth game for the Turkish champions against Kasimpasa in the Super Lig.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year broke his duck with a quick brace in the fixture played on Saturday, September 28.
The Super Eagles striker sustained an injury after scoring twice and was replaced by former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens at the interval.
Unfortunately, Galatasaray squandered a three-goal advantage as Kasimpasa staged a remarkable comeback to secure a 3-3 draw at the end of proceedings.
Despite sustaining an injury in the first half, it has emerged that Victor Osimhen celebrated his first goals for his new side with a kind gesture.
Besides holding the team's jersey with "FINALLY" boldly printed at the back to celebrate his first goal, which came in the 20th minute, the Super Eagles striker reportedly gave out gifts to workers at the club's training centre, Florya.
This was disclosed in a tweet by Turkish football expert Erinc Bilican, as per Forza Cimbom.
The former Lille international has gone on to score two more goals after returning from injury, with his latest goal coming against Besiktas in the Super Lig on Monday, October 28.
