Victor Osimhen delivered masterclass in finishing as Galatasaray beat Ajax 3-0 at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday night, a result that not only boosted the Turkish club’s qualification hopes but also sent the Nigerian star to the top of the UEFA Champions League scoring chart.

Osimhen 25 scored hat trick — striking in the 12th, 44th and 71st minutes — to take his tally to 6 goal this season overtaking Erling Haaland (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) who each sit on five.

The performance capped remarkable group-stage run for the former Napoli forward whose pace, positioning and clinical finishing have made him one of the tournament’s most lethal attackers.
