Victor Osimhen has dedicated Galatasaray’s 2-1 victory over Fenerbahçe in Monday night’s Istanbul derby to head coach Okan Buruk.
The Yellow and Reds secured the bragging rights against their fierce rivals at RAMS Park in a keenly contested encounter.
Osimhen proved decisive, scoring both goals to lead Galatasaray to victory in the intercontinental derby.
The Nigeria international has now scored three goals in his last two appearances for the Turkish champions.
The striker said the wins against Lille and Fenerbahçe are a gift for Buruk, who recently celebrated his 53rd birthday.
“We love our coach Okan Buruk very much. Beyond being our technical director, we love him like a father,” Osimhen was quoted by Sporx.
“He’s a very good person both on and off the field. We wanted to gift him victories against both Lille and Fenerbahçe, and we succeeded.
