The former Bodø/Glimt striker had 29 shots in four games, which is more than Juan Arango's 20.

The Nigerian striker was in action against Bayern Munich over the weekend but was unable to find the back of the net.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Boniface causing a lot of problems for the Bavarians' defence line.

Xabi Alonso's side came from behind twice in the game to earn a deserved draw at the Allianz Arena.

Boniface will now switch focus to Bayer Leverkusen's game against Swedish side Hacken in the Europa League on Thursday.
