Super Eagles stars delivered standout performances across Europe on Sunday, with goals, assists and emotional moments defining a busy day for Nigeria’s finest abroad.
From Turkey to England and Spain, several internationals played decisive roles for their clubs.
Super Eagles Stars: Onuachu Continues Red-Hot Run in Turkey
Paul Onuachu was once again the hero as Trabzonspor edged Gaziantep 2-1 in the Turkish Super Lig.
The towering forward struck the winner in the 27th minute, completing a swift comeback after Mohamed Bayo had given the hosts an early lead.
Felipe Augusto had drawn Trabzonspor level just two minutes before Onuachu’s decisive effort.
The goal means the Nigerian has now scored in six consecutive matches for Trabzonspor.
It was also his 35th strike for the Black Sea Storm and his 17th goal in just 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
Trabzonspor remain third on the table with 48 points, keeping pressure on the teams above them as the title race tightens.
In another Super Lig fixture, Wilfred Ndidi marked an emotional return with a goal in Beşiktaş’ commanding 4-0 home win over Göztepe.
The Super Eagles captain opened the scoring with a powerful header inside nine minutes at Tüpraş Stadium.
It was his first appearance since travelling to Nigeria for his father’s burial. Ndidi paid tribute with a heartfelt celebration after finding the net, taking his league tally to two goals this season.
Beşiktaş cruised to victory with further strikes from Michael Murillo, Junior Olaitan and Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Super Eagles Stars Impress in Premier League and La Liga
In England, Alex Iwobi produced one of his best performances of the campaign as Fulham defeated Sunderland 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Iwobi provided the assist for Raul Jimenez’s opener from a corner before calmly finishing a swift counter-attack to seal the win.
It marked only the third time in his Premier League career that he has both scored and assisted in the same game.
Calvin Bassey also featured, winning the penalty that led to Fulham’s second goal after a VAR review.
The victory ended Fulham’s three-game losing run and lifted them into the top half of the table.
Elsewhere in La Liga, Akor Adams registered an assist in Sevilla’s narrow 1-0 away victory over Getafe.
The striker, who played 89 minutes, delivered his fourth assist of the season. His overall tally now stands at 10 goal contributions in 21 matches across all competitions.
Back in the Premier League, Tolu Arokodare endured a frustrating afternoon as Wolverhampton Wanderers fell 1-0 to Crystal Palace.
Arokodare saw a first-half penalty saved by Dean Henderson and later watched his side reduced to 10 men.
The defeat leaves Wolves deep in relegation trouble and still searching for an away league win.
From match-winning goals to key assists, Super Eagles stars once again made headlines across Europe.
