You forgot to add that his first goal is a paragon of beauty and a case study in precision.
With 2 opposition centre defenders stalking him, Onuachu plucked a cross from the air with a bicycle kick the left the stadium stunned as it crashed the net.
He would be manhandled later on by a centre defender who was punished with a penalty that Onuachu converted with effortless ease.
But his place in the Super Eagles is not at all upgraded. Arokodare, Moffi Iheanacho are all in front of him in the pecking order.
Should he continue banging beautiful goals in beautiful ways regularly, who knows?, injury to any of the aforementioned could just swing the pendulum back his way.
Iheanacho ke? Hahaha big man yuh de whine ne or watin? Hmmm
Even if dere ees one pesin whish Onuachuchu is for sure better dan then eet ees Iheanacho pls if na play yuh dey play abeg stop am very faster lnaaoo
