Super Eagles forward Paul Onuachu on Saturday night finished the regular league season as Belgium’s top scorer with 29 goals after netting a brace for Genk in a five-goal thriller at closest rivals Royal Antwerp.
The 26-year-old thus emerged the third Nigerian to top the goals chart in Belgium after Tosin Dosunmu and Joseph Akpala.

This record was a remarkable improvement from the nine goals he scored in the last campaign.
Onuachu broke the deadlock after just 22 minutes in the clash between second and third-placed teams in the Belgian topflight.
