Osimhen is now the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in Europe’s elite football competition.
Liverpool missed multiple big chances in the game, and were denied a late penalty by VAR.
Goalkeeper Alisson and Hugo Ekitike also went off injured.
At the Stamford Bridge, Chelsea recorded their first win in the competition, edging past Benfica 1-0.
Richard Rios’ 18th minute own goal separated both teams on the night.

Osimhen was unplayable and caused all sort of problems to liverpool. Showing them exactly why they should never take him or Lookman for granted in the next transfer window. He also shown them that he is 2in1 player by continuously forcing their defence into all sort of errors. His shoot placement was what sent liverpool keeper out of the match before he was also injured whiles he was loading the ball for the second goal. Ref turned blind for that foul on his leg even though replay showed that the defender missed the ball and obstructed into Osimhen’s ankle. I pray Osimhen has not suffered relapsed injuring before he was given a standing ovation.
This is true.
“…..Osimhen is now the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in Europe’s elite football competition…..”
Hmmm, interesting…!!!!
This boy was clearly not match-fit, yet he gave the champions of England something to worry about. A fit and in-form Osimhen will give many teams a headache in the world’s most elite club competition this year
