Onuachu: Red-hot Nigeria forward scores again as Genk see off Royal Antwerp

Paul Onuachu found the back of the net as Genk secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Royal Antwerp in Friday’s Belgian First Division A Championship group game.

The lanky forward has been in blistering form for the Blue and White this season and against the Great Old, he increased his tally to help his side return to winning ways after losing against Antwerp in their last outing in the competition.

Genk started the encounter impressively, scoring as early as the 20th minute when Theo Bongonda got the better of goalkeeper Jean Butez.
