Nigeria starlet Victor Osimhen was once again on target as Lille claimed a 2-1 win against Angers SCO on match day five in the French Ligue 1 on Friday.<\/div>\n

In doing so, the former Wolfsburg striker became the first player to score 5 goals or more in his first 5 Ligue 1 games since Mario Balotelli in September-October 2016, according to the\u00a0statisticians at OPTA.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Osimhen bagged a brace on the opening matchday against Nantes and scored twice again in his second consecutive home game vs Saint-\u00e9tienne, before taking his tally to five league goals this evening.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Against Angers SCO, Lille took a one-goal lead into the break thanks to their Nigerian number 7, who bundled the ball home after goalkeeper Butelle spilled a shot taken by Jonathan Bamba.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of the seven goals scored by Lille in the Ligue 1 so far this season, Osimhen has accounted for five goals (approximately 70 percent).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The 20-year-old opened his goalscoring account for the Super Eagles in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw against Ukraine at the Dnipro Arena.<\/div>\n
