David Okereke Makes History Against Mourinho’s Teams
Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has lauded Nigerian striker David Okereke after his historic goal in Gaziantep’s 3-1 loss at the Ulker Stadium Sukru Saracoglu on Monday.
Okereke became the first player to score against three different teams managed by Mourinho, marking a unique achievement in the Super Eagles forward’s career.
The 27-year-old equalized in the first half, adding to his previous strikes against Mourinho’s Roma while playing for Venezia and Cremonese in Serie A. “I congratulate David Okereke. He is the first player to score against all three teams that I managed.
He scored against my teams while playing for Venezia, Cremonese, and Gaziantep,” Mourinho said in a post-match interview with TRT Spor.
Despite Okereke’s moment of brilliance, Fenerbahce ultimately triumphed with second-half goals from Rodrigo Becao and Edin Dzeko, sealing victory and denying Gaziantep a valuable point.
This latest goal brings Okereke’s tally to three in the Turkish Super Lig this season, further cementing his reputation as a dependable scorer. Mourinho’s praise highlights the Nigerian forward’s growing stature, as he continues to leave his mark against one of the most decorated managers in football history.
