Paul Onuachu continued his impressive goalscoring form for Trabzonspor as he netted a brace in their 2-1 Turkish Super Lig win over Konyaspor on Friday night.
The Black Stars Sea Storm were 3-2 victors away at big guns Fenerbahce in their previous league game, Onuachu scoring the opener.
The Nigerian forward replicated it against Konyaspor on the hour mark by latching on to a loose ball in the penalty area and finished off with consummate ease. It marked the fourth game he scored the opener this season, matching Kayserispor and Senegal striker Mame Thiam.
Konyaspor equalised in the 77th minute through Louka Prip but Onuachu popped up with the winner for Trabzonspor in the 85th minute with an audacious acrobatic effort that sent the Papara Park crowd into raptures. It marked the first time he scored a brace in a league game since January while with Belgian side Genk.

Onuachu, who is on loan from Championship side Southampton, has now scored six goals in eight league matches this season.
The victory moved Trabzonspor above Adana Demirspor into third spot on the league table.
The other Super Lig game on Friday saw Antalyaspor record a 4-0 win away at Turkish capital outfit Ankaragucu, DR Congo forward Britt Assombalonga coming off the bench to net the final goal. It was his first goal for the club since joining from Watford in the summer.
