Victor Osimhen, recently crowned African Player of the Year, continued his impressive form by finding the net for Napoli in a 2-1 Serie A triumph over Cagliari last weekend.
In Morocco last week, Osimhen, a prolific goal-scorer for both his club and country, achieved the distinction of becoming the first Nigerian to win the award since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999. His professional journey commenced with Wolfsburg in 2017, and after stints with Belgian and French clubs, he joined Napoli three years ago.
Ghanaian forward Kudus shone for West Ham in a 3-0 victory against Wolves at the London Stadium, scoring twice to bring his Premier League tally to five goals. The 23-year-old opened the scoring with a left-footed shot from outside the box in the 22nd minute and added another with his right foot 10 minutes later, both assisted by Lucas Paqueta.
Senegalese forward Jackson notched his seventh Premier League goal of the season as Chelsea secured a 2-0 win over Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge. The 22-year-old tapped in from close range just after the hour mark, capitalising on a cross from Cole Palmer.
Nigerian talent soared between two defenders to head Napoli into the lead in a home victory over Cagliari. With this goal, the 24-year-old secured his seventh of the Serie A campaign, positioning Napoli in fifth place, 14 points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan.
Leverkusen striker Boniface showcased his prowess in a 3-0 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt, solidifying his team's position at the top of the table. Boniface opened the scoring early on with a powerful shot beneath German goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, marking his ninth goal of the season. He then set up goals for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, contributing to Leverkusen's 21st victory in 24 games across all competitions this season.
Brest captain and Benin forward Mounie scored his third goal of the Ligue 1 campaign in the 12th minute of the second half against Nantes, extending the visitors' lead and placing them in fifth position on the table. Mounie reacted swiftly to slam the ball into the net after a header from a corner rebounded off a Nantes defender's chest.
