Onuachu fires brace to earn weekly award

Paul Onuachu struck twice over the weekend to power his club to victory in the league and clinch Baller of the Week honours, as the Super Eagles forward continued his red-hot form in Europe.

The 2.01m striker opened the scoring with a towering header before sealing the win late on, taking his tally to double figures this season and underlining his growing influence in the title race. His clinical display drew praise across the continent.

“I’m happy to help the team. The goals will come if we keep working,” Onuachu said after the match. His coach added: “Paul gives us a different dimension. Defenders struggle with his presence.”

A league analyst noted that “he’s sending a message across Europe again.” Once overlooked, Onuachu is now firmly back in the spotlight.
