Osimhen’s bicycle kick goal work of art — Galatasaray

Galatasaray are awed by Victor Osimhen’s bicycle kick goal in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Antalyaspor, with the Turkish champions describing the effort as more than a photograph, a work of art, in a statement on their Instagram page on Sunday.
The Nigeria striker delivered the spectacular effort that will stay indelible in the annals of global football to round off the scoring for the visitors two minutes into added time in the Süper Lig Game week 9 encounter at Corendon Airlines Park, Antalya.
It was the third league goal for the 25-year-old, who opened his account with a brave in their 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa before being laid off for two by a hamstring injury.
The Napoli loanee thus helped the two-time defending champions get back to winning ways, and their weekend was made even better with title challengers Besiktas dropping points.
After their seismic win at Fenerbahce in the Intercontinental Derby just two weeks ago, the pressure on manager Okan Buruk had considerably eased. But such is the volatile and fickle nature of football, his tactical and coaching acumen was called into question again following back-of-back collapses.
Without Osimhen, Galatasaray gave up a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against Latvian side Riga in the Europa League but defeated Alanyaspor 1-0 last Sunday, putting them in a fine position heading into the international break.
The former Lille striker joined the club in September on loan from Napoli for the remainder of the season. The Turkey club assiduously working to make the move permanent, but consistent pressure from his suitors, especially Chelsea, could render their effort futile.
