Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen provided the best reply to coach of Fenerbahce Jose Mourinho with an assist for Galatasaray in a huge 3-1 win, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Osimhen was the subject of a critical assessment by Mourinho who was critical of the antics of the Nigerian calling him a diver in the box in an interview granted during the international break.
“The last time we played against him during Roma vs Napoli, I had this conversation with him, ” Mourinho told HT Spor.
“I told Osimhen, ‘you are one of the best players in Africa along with Salah. Before there were Drogba, Eto’o and Weah. You can’t be diving.
“He dives too much, and that’s my problem with him, but after 10 minutes, we are fine.”
Today the 25 year old replied the coach with a sublime assist to help Galatasaray increase their lead to 2-0 in the 28th minute. His second assist in as many games following the one he got in the 5-0 win over Rizespor last weekend.
The win further increases their lead at the top of the table to five points for Galatasaray who are defending champions after beating their opponent by three points to the title last season.
