The win took Darlian Aerbin to the top of the eight-team Chinese Women’s Super League on 10 points, having won three games and drawn only one.

The Super Falcons’ forward celebrated the win as she took to Twitter after the game and wrote, alongside a picture of herself holding up three fingers:

 “4-0 win, Massive 3 pts, topped with an incredible hat-trick (3 goals) from me today. I am grateful #Dalian.”

The last time she scored many goals (4) was during Nigeria’s 6-0 thrashing of Mali at the 2016 Africa Women’s Nations Cup in Limbe-Cameroon. 

She eventually emerged top scorer of the tournament with 6 goals.

The 22-year old left Arsenal Ladies earlier this year and have helped her new club to remain unbeaten after four rounds of games in the Women’s Super League.

Oshoala was recently crowned Queen of the Pitch in the Nigeria Pitch Awards which held on June 10 in Uyo.
