Asisat Oshoala is now joint leading scorer in Spain after her hat-trick sunk Real Betis, while fellow Super Falcons star Uchenna Kanu made history in Mexico with the first hat-trick ever by a foreign player.
5.Okwuchukwu Ezeh
The little known striker posted a dream day in the office when he plundered a hat-trick for his Turkish second division club to shock mighty Galatasaray 6-2 in a friendly. Ezeh, 24, who is on loan from Adana Demirspor, has yet to make his league debut for Tuzlaspor.
4.Cyriel Dessers
The striker has made a big case for more game time at top Dutch club Feyenoord after he scored four times in a friendly against Vitesse Arnhem ahead of the restart of the season. The Genk loanee recently pleaded for more playing time at the Rotterdam club, the same plight he faced at his parent Belgian club.
3. Alhassan Yusuf
The midfielder has again underlined his class with a wonder goal that saw Antwerp close in on Belgian league leaders Union as both teams get set for top-draw clash next Saturday. This was his second goal in the league and it capped another Man-of-the-match performance by the former IFK Goteborg star. Super Eagles cannot continue to overlook this gem.
2.Uchenna Kanu
The Super Falcons striker is already making a big splash in Mexico after she smashed a hat-trick for Tigres UANL to record a comfortable 5-1 home win. That is the first hat-trick by a foreign player in Liga MX Femenil. Four-time champions Tigres are now fourth on the table with seven points, five points behind table toppers Pachuca but with two games in hand.

1.Asisat Oshoala
The super Falcons skipper is now joint leading scorer in the Spanish women’s league with 15 goals after her treble in a 4-0 win over Real Betis. She has bounced back in style after some injury setbacks and European champions Barcelona are again runaway league leaders – 11 points clear of second-placed Real Sociedad.
