Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was again on the score sheet as 10-man Galatasaray came from behind to edge out Alanyaspor 2-1 in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.
Osimhen was also among the goals last weekend after bagging a brace in the 3-3 draw at Kasimpasa.
The Nigeria international has now netted 17 goals in 21 matches in the league this campaign as Saturday’s victory ended a run of four straight draws for Galatasaray.
Alanyaspor took the lead in the 23rd minute through Tonny Vilhena.
Things went from bad to worse for Galatasaray as Gunay Guvenc was shown a straight red card in first-half added time.
Despite playing with 10 men, Galatasaray equalised following an own goal by Fidan Aliti.
Osimhen then put the Istanbul giants 2-1 up in the 62nd minute as he rose to head home a cross.
Galatasaray are seven points clear of second-placed Fenerbahce, who have played a game fewer.
