Nigeria Striker Victor Osimhen grabbed a brace for his club Lille Mertopole in their French Ligue 1 win over Saint Etienne on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old started the game on the bench and took the place of Frenchman, Loic Remy in the 19th minute.

Osimhen opened scoring for the hosts six minutes before the half time with a fine finish after he received pass from  Bradaric.

Jonathan Bamba doubled the hosts advantage from the spot in the 69th minute, before Osimhen completed his brace 16 minutes from time following a pass from Mehmet Zeki.

The youngster who bagged 20 goals for Charleroi last season has now scored four goals in three league appearances for Les Dogues.

Lille will face Reims on Sunday in their next Ligue 1 clash and Osimhen will be call upon to deliver the goals once more.
