Super Falcons midfielder Jennifer Echegini turned heads with her first career hat-trick in the Italian Serie A, while Super Eagles stars Cyriel Dessers, Emmanuel Dennis and Nathan Tella improved their numbers at their various clubs
5.Emmanuel Dennis
He has got his career back on track after he fired his fourth goal in the English Championship for Watford. He conjured a great solo goal to put his club ahead at 2-1 only for promotion chasers Leeds United to fight back and draw 2-2. Watford are likely to return to the Premier League this season, but their Nigeria star has certainly put himself on the shop window back in England.
4.Cyriel Dessers
Fresh from international duty with the Super Eagles, he scored a striker’s goal for his 13th goal in the league this season. Rangers beat Hibernian as a tight title race continues with rivals Celtic. The win against Hibernian provisionally returned Rangers to the summit of the Scottish league before Celtic won the following day to set up a highly-anticipated Old Firm Derby at Ibrox.
3.Nathan Tella
The former Southampton winger has proved to be a Super Sub for history makers Bayer Leverkusen when he came off the bench to assist for the winning goal against Hoffenheim at the weekend. This was after visitors Hoffenheim at stunned the home fans and looked like they will end the unbeaten run of Leverkusen. However, Xabi Alonzo’s team fought back to win 2-1 and extend their unbeaten run to 39 matches. They are now 13 points clear of defending champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
PATRIK SCHICK IS SO BACK!!!

2.Chuba Akpom
The former Arsenal starlet struck twice for Ajax to win at FC Zwolle and climb to fifth on the table to stay in contention for UEFA Conference League playoffs. This was after a very difficult start for both player and club. Akpom has now scored nine goals in 19 league appearances for Dutch giants.
1.Jennifer Echegini
The Juventus midfielder is the toast of the past week after her treble sunk Fiorentina 4-0. She hit target in the 13th, 55th and 61st minutes. It’s the first hat-trick of her highly promising career. She has now netted eight goals in 10 appearances for Juve since her transfer in January. The 22-year-old star was born in the Netherlands and played in the USA before her transfer to Italy. Her Serie A club are second with 47 points from 20 matches and in the bracket for UEFA Champions League qualification next season. Banyana Banyana of South Africa be warned, be warned seriously, Jennifer is coming at you!
