Chibuike Nwaiwu also found the net as Trabzonspor kept the title race wide open, reinforcing Onuachu’s central role in their attack.
Despite Galatasaray having a game in hand against Göztepe on Wednesday, Onuachu remains confident his side can capitalise.
“From now on, we have tough matches ahead of us. Every game is different; we’ll take it one at a time and go out on the pitch to win them all,” he said.
“Göztepe are strong, and they can take points from Galatasaray. We’ll win and continue on our way.”
Trabzonspor, last crowned Turkish champions four years ago, sit second in the standings with 63 points from 28 matches, just behind Galatasaray.
They will next visit Alanyaspor on Saturday, while Fenerbahce also remain in contention for the title with 63 points after beating Besiktas on Sunday.
