Nigeria striker Ahmed Musa has said he hopes to be the Russia league top scorer this season after he scored his fourth goal on Saturday.
Ahmed Musa was again on target as CSKA Moscow won 2-0 at Tom Tomsk Saturday and they now lead the standings on 14 points from six games.
The striker fired a canon from inside the 18-yard box in the 58th minute to double his club’s advantage.
He said: “I can’t really predict or say the number of goals I want to score this season, but I will be glad to end the season as top scorer.”
Three seasons ago, Musa broke a long-time record to finish as Goal King of the Nigeria league with 18 goals for Kano Pillars.
Last season, he won a league and cup double with CSKA and he began the new campaign on a winning note again when his army club clinched the Russia Super Cup.
He scored 11 goals in the league with the joint top scorers being on 13 goals last season. He also netted four in the cup.
In Spain, former Nigeria youth international Macaulay Chrisantus ensured Las Palmas secured a point with a 1-1 draw at Deportivo La Alaves.
Macaulay gave his side the lead in the 29th minute.
The former U17 star striker said he was disappointed Las Palmas did not win.
“I was not happy that we lost the game because we went for victory and we could not get it,” Macaulay said.
