On 64 minutes, Abraham stretched out a leg and poked home, doubling Aston Villa's lead in the process. It was his sixth league goal in less than one week.

A minute before half-time, Hertha BSC took a 1 - 0 lead through a well-placed header from the Germany U21 defender.

In the Belgian First Division A, ex-Golden Eaglets sensation Victor Osimhen scored Sporting Charleroi's second goal in a 3-1 win over Cercle Brugge at Stade du Pays de Charleroi.

The Wolfsburg loanee, who was the most dangerous player on parade for the home team, had hit the post in the 27th minute before his goal in the 53rd minute.

Finally, Chuks Akwabueze, otherwise known as Bentley, played for 89 minutes as Boluspor were beaten 3-2 at home by Adana Demirspor at Bolu Atatürk Stadyumu.

In the 72nd minute, the former Flying Eagles star was unmarked in the area and his downward header beat goalkeeper Yurt. It was his fourth goal in the Turkish 1 Lig this season.
