It was an audacious effort as he controlled a long ball inside the box before he fired past the goalkeeper.

This was just moments after a spectacular overhead kick by the Super Eagles striker crashed against the crossbar.

Wednesday night, Galatasaray will take a 1-0 lead to Anfield from the UEFA Champions Round of 16 first leg in Istanbul.

The overall winners of this tie will advance to the quarterfinal of the competition.
