Boniface explains goal celebration

The striker spoke to the media after becoming the third player in Bundesliga as of the moment to contribute to three goals in three games or more after Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy.

“I didn't want to provoke anyone, I did it in front of our fans. It's a TikTok trend from a big influencer in Nigeria. I promised him I would celebrate like that, I just hadn't scored yet,” he said.

The former Royal Saint Gilloise forward had an underwhelming performance for Nigeria during the international break despite starting both games.

The fans of the three-time African champions hope that their player can replicate his club form with the national team to achieve the goals alongside Victor Osimhen.

Boniface makes Leverksuen history

Briefly News previously reported that the Nigerian forward has now been involved in three goals in a Bundesliga match for the second time. Only Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy and Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane have done so more frequently, each achieving this feat four times since the Super Eagles star’s move to the Bundesliga in the 2023/24 season.
