Turkish football expert Serhat Ulueren has commended Victor Osimhen's passion after Galatasaray's victory.

The Turkish table leaders secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sivasspor on Sunday afternoon.

The Super Eagles star continued his rich form, scoring as Galatasaray came from behind to secure the win.

The forward extended his goal tally to seven this season as Galatasaray led the table with six points.

Osimhen's work ethic was praised by Serhat Ulueren, who also chastised Michy Batshuayi, his striking competitor, for losing his shooting boots.

According to habersarikirmizi.com, Ulueren said, "Yunus Akgün and Barış Alper Yılmaz showed that they are still in form. Victor Osimhen wants it so much, it seems he didn't come here to sleep.

"Michy Batshuayi should also throw away the positions he has entered. Otherwise, he will continue to be on the bench."

Osimhen was pulled down by the Sivasspor goalkeeper after a defence-splitting pass from Yunus Akgün in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time.

With a strong effort, the forward converted from the penalty spot, sending the ball into the top corner to give Galatasaray the lead. 

However, he was later substituted before the end of the game due to an injury after getting a knock.
