Victor Osimhen has vowed to continue giving his best for Galatasaray after scoring twice in their 2-0 win over Fenerbahçe in the Istanbul derby.
The Nigerian international scored in the 29th minute before doubling his side’s lead shortly before half-time, helping Galatasaray claim three crucial points and return to the top of the Turkish Super Lig.
Fenerbahçe attempted to fight back in the second half, but the Turkish champions held firm to secure a vital victory over their city rivals.
Osimhen’s performance came after he faced criticism over his recent displays. The 27-year-old had also found his scoring touch in Galatasaray’s 4-2 UEFA Champions League victory over his former club, Lille, last week.
Speaking after the derby, the striker reaffirmed his commitment to Galatasaray, insisting that the support of the club’s fans mattered more to him than criticism on social media.
“There were discussions before the match this week. I love this club. I always say it. I will give everything for this club. I don’t care about social media. I see the fans. Galatasaray fans have always been behind me since I arrived,” Osimhen told the club’s official website.
