'Lille Replaced Pepe With A Better Player' - Fans Hail Osimhen As Super Eagle Strikes Again

 
Lille, who were playing in front of their supporters, opened the scoring in the 12th minute via Loic Remy's shot but Nimes equalized before the break as Renaud Ripart converted from the spot.

The away side took the lead in the 71st minute when Kevin Denkey found the back of the net but Osimhen ensured that Lille's supporters have something to cheer when his shot went straight into the net in the 80th minute.

Though the Nigerian was cautioned in the 38th minute of the encounter, his goal was enough to attract positive comments from the fans, and here are some of their comments on Twitter.
