The 27-year-old forward continued his terrifying start to the domestic campaign, logging another goal and an assist to extend his record to seven goal involvements in just three matches.

Osimhen’s all-action display on the pitch was a tactical masterclass in raw power and elite movement. The masked Nigerian powerhouse completely suffocated the Goztepe backline, registering a remarkable 18 touches in the opposition penalty area, unleashing 15 shots (with 6 on target), and winning a staggering 10 aerial duels.

'Give Okan's Salary to Osimhen!'

The sheer scale of Osimhen's brilliance broke the internet, prompting his own club to lead the post-match adulation.

Galatasaray’s official social media accounts immediately posted a defiant message to the rest of the league: "Yes, it's not really possible to stop it." 

The Istanbul faithful flooded the comment section in absolute awe, with some half-jokingly demanding that head coach Okan Buruk hand over his financial compensation to the Nigerian superstar. One ecstatic supporter raved:

"Even without you, this team would play this game. Hell, Osi baba would both score goals and play tactically. Give Okan's salary to Osimhen too; let him be both the coach and score goals!"

Another fan echoed the sentiments of absolute dependency on the African King, stating: "If it weren't for Osi, we'd be in dire straits. The championship is already in the bag with him!" 

Tactical Flaws Masked by Greatness

However, Osimhen's magnificent performance also sparked a hyper-polarised tactical debate among analytical sections of the fanbase.

Many warned that the striker's elite work rate is currently masking horrific, deep-rooted defensive issues in Buruk's system.

"Even Osimhen and the defence can't stop such an army. If Okan solves the problem in the defensive line, it'll be even better. The guys scored both goals in the same way. The players standing on the goalposts just watch," an observant fan warned.

The global ripple effect of the striker's unplayable form was so intense it even penetrated traditional Premier League circles.

In a viral footnote to the evening, a notable Nigerian Liverpool fan publicly surrendered his long-standing social media agenda against the forward, admitting he used to hate-watch Osimhen and falsely claim Darwin Nunez was superior. "Osimhen na OGO (Glory)... I take my L," the fan confessed.

Whether he is uniting his club's fanatical fanbase, forcing bitter international detractors onto their knees, or single-handedly dragging his manager's tactical setup to victory, Osimhen has proved he is currently operating on an entirely different planet.
