Nigeria’s Super Falcons captain, Asisat Oshoala is enjoying her best spell as a Barcelona player with another outstanding performance for the Blaugranes in their 7-0 rout of Sporting de Huelva at Estadi Johan Cruyff (Sant Joan Despí) on Sunday evening.
The former Arsenal and Liverpool striker made an impact after replacing Alexia Putellas in the 77th minute, scoring in the 88th and 91st minutes.
Oshoala’s goals meant she has now registered her name on the scoresheet in five consecutive matches for Barcelona in all competitions, having previously netted in games against Sevilla, Atlético Madrid, Real Sociedad and Sporting de Huelva, and in doing so, she equaled her best consecutive run of games scoring.
Oshoala’s brace was celebrated by LaLiga in the Spanish women’s league.
Commenting on Oshoala’s performance, the football body wrote on their verified Twitter handle: “77′ Subbed on 88′ G O A L, 90′ GOAL. Asisat Oshoala has now scored 17 goals for @FCBfemeni this season in the PrimeraIberdrola!”
She has now scored 23 goals in all competitions so far this season.
Barcelona remain undefeated after 19 league games played, winning 17 and drawing two.
