Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu scored a brace for Trabzonspor in their 3-0 thrashing of Samsunspor on Sunday, Soccernet.ng reports.

Onuachu continued his fine form for the club, scoring in the 23rd minute. He rose to head the ball off a cross from Ernest Muçi, and while the ball deflected off a defender, it found its way into the net to make it 1-0.
In the 55th minute, Onuachu put the ball in the net again, but it was chalked off by VAR after a foul was spotted in the build-up.
The Super Eagles star was not to be denied, however, as he converted a low cross from Umut Nayir in the 81st minute to make it 2-0.
Onuachu was substituted seven minutes after his second goal for Okay Yokuşlu. Then, in stoppage time, Muçi scored from the spot to ensure the game ended 3-0.
