In-form Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi, Victor Osimhen and Imoh Ezekiel were recognized for their outstanding performances for their clubs on match day 26.
Awoniyi bagged his fourth goal in five games as Royal Excel Mouscron registered a 3-0 win over Cercle Brugge, while Ezekiel opened his goalscoring account for KV Kortrijk in their 2-1 loss to Sporting Charleroi.
