The goal came just a minute after the Nigeria international had missed a golden chance.

Arteaga scored the second goal for Genk in the 53rd minute to give the visitors a 2-0 win.

Genk are still topping the Belgian Pro League table with 46 points after 17 games played this term according to the report on GOAL.

What next for Onuachu?

Onuachu's impressive form this season convinced Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, who named him in the squad that will face Portugal in international friendly duel.

However, Onuachu will face serious competition for the starting lineup from Napoli man Victor Osimhen who has also been superb this season in Europe.

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Italian defender Ciro Ferrara stated that Victor Osimhen is good with aerial balls, adding that header is the striker's trademark.

The Nigeria international has been in blistering form, scoring 'for free' in the Serie A, including a header in their 3-2 win over Udinese.
