Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring run as he netted all the three goals in Galatasaray’s 3-0 win against Ajax in Amsterdam, on matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
Osimhen has now scored 12 goals in his last eight matches for Galatasaray in Europe.
Also, it is a third straight win (one defeat) for Galatasaray in four matches in the Champions League this season.
The win took Galatasaray to ninth position on nine points while Ajax are bottom with zero point in the 36-team table.
After a goalless first half Osimhen put Galatasaray 1-0 ahead in the 59th minute as he headed home Leroy Sane’s cross.
Osimhen got his second goal to put his side 2-0 ahead on 66 minute from the penalty spot following a handball by an Ajax player.

With 12 minutes left Osimhen completed his hat-trick after netting again from the penalty spot for another handball.
In France, Ademola Lookman was in action for Atalanta who edged out Marseille 1-0.
A 90th minute goal by Lazar Samardzic earned Atalanta the three points which place them in 16th position on seven points.
Lookman, who was taken off in the 75th minute, thought he had given Atalanta the lead but his effort was overturned after consultation with VAR.
In Belgium, Raphael Onyedika returned from injury and was named in the starting line-up in Club Brugge’s 3-3 draw with Barcelona. Onyedika was then replaced on 84 minutes.
Other results saw Manchester City thrash Borussia Dortmund 4-1, Newcastle United overcame Athletic Bilbao 2-0, Pafos FC shocked Villarreal 1-0, Inter Milan pipped Kairat Almaty 2-1 and Bayer Leverkusen beat Benfica 1-0.

Another heartbreak for naysayers. Big up, Osi Baba
@Monkey Post.
Where are you ooooo?
Mtscheeww……tolotolo UEFA Champions League.
His mates like Mbappe and Halaand are scoring goals on the moon, this overhyped Osimhen that is not that good is scoring hattrick here on earth in tolotolo UCL.
Instead of him to go and earn peanuts in the moon and prove himself he went for money and is now the name on every lip in a tolotolo competition like the uefa Champions league.
I will make sure Osimhen never knows peace…..LMAOoo
Common sense is indeed not common
Congratulations Victor Osigoal. Not many players can boast of Nottingham a hattrick in the prestigois Johan Cryuff Arena. Even grootman johan will be smiling down at you from heaven watching your performance tonight.
Does this feat make osimhen to 1st Nigerian to score a hattrick in the UCL….? I remember Yakubu putting 3 past Manchester United for Maccabi Haifa in the early 2000s, but I’m not sure of its in the UCL or UEFA Cup.
Champions league top scorer right now. What a player. Hopefully, he gets a big move to Barcelona, Arsenal or Chelsea next season. And then he can aim for Ballon d’Or.
Osimhen is on fire love the way you play your football.
Before some of you come here and be shouting where is monkey post… just remember that Ajax has the most inexperienced and young players in the champions league….
With most of their players in their very early twenties ..And even lesser than….the likes of Jorthy Mokio is just 17 year old, Rayane Bounida is just 19 year old and Mika Godts just turned 20….etc
Hahahaha The veterans and experienced players in the squad are very very handful…one is the very old grand pa Remko Pasveer who is 41 year old…. hahahaha And he is even not outfield player…. hahahaha
Hahahaha…And lastly Ajax is from a soft dutch league…just like Turkish league they are from a league that is not competitive….. hahahaha
Thank you all….
