The 6ft 7in Super Eagles striker is indeed on fire at the moment after another excellent and heroic performance for Genk in the Belgian league.

Nigerian international Paul Onuachu is on fire at the moment after another outstanding goalscoring performance for his Belgian club, KRC Genk.

Onuachu scored his first hat-trick of the season and added another goal to inspire Genk to a routine 4-1 win over Sporting Charleroi on Friday night.

Onuachu scored a penalty in the ninth minute before he doubled the advantage in the 35th minute to give Genk a comfortable 2-0 lead at half time.

The goals meant the 28-year-old Super Eagles giant had scored four braces in his last six matches in the league.

He added a third and fourth in the second to make it 12 goals in his last seven matches in the Jupiler, taking his total for his season to 12 goals in nine matches.

Onuachu has scored 11 goals in just 9 starts for Genk.

After a shaky start to the season, blighted by injuries, which saw him fail to score in any of his opening six matches, the giant Nigerian international has found his feet again and is back to his devastating best for Genk.

Genk thrash Sporting to extend winning streak

Belgian club Genk is flying at the moment all thanks to their Nigerian superstar striker, Onuachu.

Genk sealed a ninth successive win in all competitions courtesy of a comfortable win over Sporting on Friday night.

Unstoppable Onuachu!

Onuachu gave the home side a 2-0 lead at the break but Sporting fought back to make it 2-1 after the hour mark. 

However, the goal to give the visitors some hope only lasted five minutes before Onuachu restored Genk's two-goal lead with another goal to complete his hat-trick and a fourth in added time to seal the win.
