Not sure whose header was the better on the day:
Onyekuru's or Bonaventure's.
Both were brilliant.

Its just stats but Olayinka assist number would suggest excellent hold-up play and above average passing skills for a striker.

BTW: Dessers scored today as well.

I watched part of the Anderlecht game today and based on what I saw, 4 Belgian league goals should be equal one EPL assist. So we should stop counting goals as if a goal is a goal. Motor oil is NOT motor oil, just as goals get levelz!
Players have moved on from the Belgian league to do great things, be it Lukaku, Mitrovic, Kompany, Batshuayi, Fellaini, Perisic or now Tielemans.

Good thing about Olayinka is that he uses both legs very well, very skillful, fast and strong. He plays both as a left winger and striker for Zulte. He also horned his skill in the technical czech league last season.

Nigeria's best players are currently in Belgium and the good thing about it is that they would move on to biger clubs and league. Already, Based on this seasons performance, Onyekuru and Awoniyi might end up in the Premier league next season. Olayinka would move to a bigger club in Belgium (Gent) and play in Europe. Dennis killed it in Ukraine last season, found himself in One of the 2 bigest clubs in Belgium, and would likely end up in the top 5 leagues if he continues at this rate.

Did I say players should not move from Belgian League? Is it not a starter league like the French League? Good players are supposed to start there and then move to bigger clubs like Yobo and other great players did. Any player that stays in one of those leagues for all his career like Roger Milla and sadly Enyeama cannot be considered great players. Right Obong? :D

So what you said does not change the fact that 4 Belgian goals should equal 1 EPL assist.
