It was his ninth goal of the season, and he also has five assists in 10 appearances in all competitions. The 24-year-old is on loan from Hoffenheim.

NWAIWU, ONUACHU (TRABZONSPOR)

Nwaiwu played the full game, and Onuachu started on his return from injury as Trabzonspor beat Gaziantep FK 2–0 for a fifth successive Süper Lig win.

With Franculino Djú unavailable, he was thrown straight back in, but he failed to score and was replaced by Umut Nayir in the 63rd minute.

Trabzonspor coach Thomas Reis said before the game that it was uncertain whether Onuachu could play the full 90 minutes. “We are very happy that he is back,” Reis said afterwards. Onuachu, who was joint-top scorer in the Süper Lig last season, has scored twice this season, both against Gençlerbirliği in September.
