that perfectly highlights why top clubs are targeting him.<\/p>\n<p>His two goals came in quick succession early in the second half, scoring twice in five minutes and showing incredible composure and decisiveness in the box.<\/p>\n<p>The first one was a clever assist that led to a quick and powerful shot, and the second one was skillfully created to create space before hitting the net.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that both of his shots were on goal speaks volumes about his clinical efficiency that night.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table
