Paul Onuachu delivered an excellent performance on Sunday afternoon to power Trabzonspor to a stunning 4-2 win over Gaziantep FK in the Turkish Super Liga, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Eagles striker netted a superb hat-trick in 18 second-half minutes to help Trabzonspor fight back from a two-nil deficit and register a remarkable win.
Trabzonspor were looking for their 18th win of the campaign when they hosted Gaziantep at the Papara Park in Trabzon, but the visitors had other plans.
Deian Cristian Sorescu opened the scoring after only 12 minutes before Denis Drăguş doubled the advantage as Gaziantep headed into the interval with a comfortable advantage.
Five minutes into the second period, Onuachu smashed home Trabzonspor’s first goal, connecting with a cross from the right flank to force a shot through the goalkeeper’s palms.
