September 18, (THEWILL) – Trabzonspor striker, Paul Onuachu, wasted no time in making an impact for his new club, scoring just 29 minutes into his debut in a 3-0 victory over Beşiktaş on Sunday.
The Southampton loanee rose highest to head home Enis Bardhi’s cross and open the scoring at the Medical Park Stadyumu. Further goals from Anastasios Bakasetas and Edin Višća in the 41st and 61st minutes wrapped up a comfortable win for the hosts against their Istanbul rivals. It was a dream debut for Onuachu, who found the net for the first time since January whilst still playing for Genk in Belgium.
The Nigerian international was brought off shortly after the restart with a suspected injury, replaced by Enis Destan in the 47th minute. Trabzonspor will hope it is nothing serious after securing the services of the 29-year-old on loan just before the Turkish transfer window closed.
Onuachu will be eager to rediscover his best form in Turkey, having struggled to make an impact during his time at Southampton so far this season. Trabzonspor currently sit third in the Süper Lig table and the goals of their new striker could help fire them into title contention in this campaign.
