**Exciting Weekend in European Football**
Manchester City’s thrilling 2-2 draw against Arsenal had fans on the edge of their seats, with Pep Guardiola’s “doubt” adding to the drama. Meanwhile, several African stars shone bright in their respective leagues, making a significant impact on the pitch.
In the German Bundesliga, Victor Boniface continued his impressive goal-scoring streak for Bayer Leverkusen, netting a stunning winner in the 93rd minute against VfL Wolfsburg. The Nigerian striker’s clever footwork and left-footed shot secured a comeback victory for his team. Boniface has now scored or assisted every 66 minutes this season, making him a force to be reckoned with in the German top tier.
Fellow Nigerian Victor Osimhen made a memorable assist in Galatasaray’s 3-1 win over Fenerbahce in the Istanbul derby. His chested pass to Dries Mertens led to the Belgian’s goal, showcasing Osimhen’s growing chemistry with his teammates.
In Dortmund, Serhou Guirassy finally opened his account for Borussia Dortmund, but it was a bittersweet moment as his team suffered a 5-1 defeat to VfB Stuttgart. The Guinea international still needs to find his footing in his new team, but his goal demonstrated his potential.
Nicolas Jackson had a fantastic weekend in the English Premier League, scoring two goals in Chelsea’s victory over West Ham United. The Senegalese striker has now had a hand in six goals in five league games this season, solidifying his position as the line-leader for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Iliman Ndiaye, another Senegalese star, opened his account for Everton with a brilliant goal against Leicester City, helping his team secure their first point of the season. Ndiaye’s encouraging performances have been a bright spot for the struggling Toffees.
These African stars are making their mark in European football, and fans can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next.
