The Super Eagles striker registered a game-high five shots with four on target, was the most fouled Racing Genk player (3) and had a passing accuracy of 82.1 percent.

In a 4-4-2 formation, Onuachu is partnered in attack by Oostende's Gueye in the Pro League Team of the Week.

Sutton United star David Ajiboye was deployed as the right-sided midfielder in the EFL League Two Team of the Week.
