Paul Onuachu marked his first goals of the season with a brace as Trabzonspor claimed a dominant 5-0 victory over Gençlerbirliği on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker, who finished as joint-top scorer in the Süper Lig last season, had struggled for form early in the campaign, drawing a blank in his first five appearances across all competitions.
Onuachu ended that barren run in emphatic fashion, opening the scoring in the fifth minute before adding Trabzonspor’s third goal in the 23rd minute shortly after Mohamed Salah converted a penalty.
His afternoon was cut short, however, when he was replaced in the 44th minute in what appeared to be an injury-related substitution.
Guinea-Bissau forward Franculino came on in his place. Micu extended the lead in the 59th minute, before Franculino completed the scoring in the 78th minute to seal a comprehensive win for the hosts.
