Paul Onuachu rattles the net four times

Paul Onuachu became the first Genk player to score four goals in a single Jupiler Pro League game since Wesley Sonck against R. Excelsior Mouscron in February 2003 after his exploit on Sunday.

The Super Eagles striker scored all four of Genk's goals in their 4-1 thumping of Sporting Charleroi in the Belgian top flight.

He struck in the 9th, 35th, 71st and  95th minutes to record his 12th goal of the season in the past 7 games.

His first came from the penalty spot and a second from a flying header in the first half.

In the second, he made a hat-trick after connecting well to a cross to tap in. He scored another beautiful header minutes later to complete his double brace.

Since 2019/20, Onuachu has scored the most headed goals out of any other player in Europe's top 10 leagues. He has scored 23 goals with his head.
