WATCH: Victor Osimhen's fantastic bicycle kick winner and contender for goal of the season
In a typical electrifying display of skill and determination, Nigeria's Victor Osimhen made an excellent return to Galatasaray, scoring a stunning bicycle kick goal during their 3-0 victory against Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
The forward, who had recently recovered from injury, came off the bench to show his talent as a super-sub, replacing Mauro Icardi and making an immediate impact on the match.
Osimhen's performance was nothing short of remarkable. After entering the game with just 13 minutes left on the clock, he quickly got involved in the action.
Although his first attempt at goal was ruled out for offside just three minutes after he came on, he didn't let that deter or stop the African Footballer of the Year.
In added time, he executed a breathtaking bicycle kick that not only secured the win for Galatasaray but also positioned his effort as a strong contender for goal of the season.
The goal was initially met with suspense as it underwent a VAR check, but ultimately it was allowed to stand, leading to jubilant celebrations from Osimhen and his teammates.
His ability to return with such flair after a brief absence from the pitch is a clear reminder of his importance to the team and his status as one of the league's standout players.
Fans and commentators alike have been raving about Osimhen's spectacular finish, with supporters taking to social media to react, with one describing Osimhen’s goal as ‘excellent’ while another was happy to have the 25-year-old back; “He’s back,” he stated.
