Osimhen couldn't sleep after scoring first Champions League goal against Chelsea

Lille forward Victor Osimhen said he could not sleep after scoring his first goal in the Uefa Champions League against Chelsea.

Osimhen scored his side’s only goal in the encounter that ended 2-1 in favour of the Premier League outfit back in October.

After his debut outing against Ajax, the 21-year-old led Lille's frontline against Frank Lampard's side, and he cancelled out Tammy Abraham's opener in the 33rd minute but Willian's 77th-minute goal condemned the hosts to defeat.
