Victor Osimhen has appreciated the fans of his new club, Galatasaray, after the team secured an emphatic 3-1 win on Saturday in the Turkish Super Lig Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce.
Osimhen did not feature in Galatasaray’s midweek win against Gaziantep, as he now returned for the much talked-about derby at the Ulker Stadyumu Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu Spor Kompleksi.
Osimhen was instrumental to Galatasaray’s two goals as he provided an assist, though he did not score any goal. The Lions earned the victory with goals that were scored by Gabriel Sara, Dries Mertens, and an own goal by Dominik Livakovic.
Osimhen came back to social media after the match that gave the team three points to appreciate Galatasaray fans for their unwavering support.

Galatasaray, who won the league last season with 102 points, extended their lead over Fenerbahce to eight points following Saturday’s win.
