Nasarawa United returned to winning ways after captain and leading scorer Anas Yusuf fired his second hat-trick of the season to turn back visiting Abia Warriors today.
Anas Yusuf now has eight goals to lead the goals chart in the NPFL.
He is the first player to score two hat-tricks in a season after Anthony Okpotu did so in the 2016/17 season.
He opened scoring in the 56th minute, completed his brace two minutes later, before he got his hat-trick on 70 minutes.
Kwara United were also truly at home in Ilorin where they drubbed Sunshine Stars 3-0 with former Flying Eagles striker Wasiu Alalade grabbing a brace.
Enyimba came from behind to hold Niger Tornadoes to a 1-1 draw in Aba, while Lobi Stars gave away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home with El Kanemi Warriors.
