“I am happy, also because we now have that club record. That was a theme in the dressing room this week, so it is very good that we succeeded,” Onuachu told hln.be.

Onuachu also praised his manager John Van den Brom for his role in the team’s impressive run.
“Football is up and down, but since his arrival he has given us a lot of confidence.
“He helps us to play free and you see that work. Now we focus from match to match to match, reaching the top four is our first goal,” he added.
Onuachu now has 14 goals for the club this season, and none for the Super Eagles.
