Nigerian forward, Asisat Oshoala continued to impress with FC Barcelona Femeni, banging her second hat trick of the season today in a whitewash at Logrono.

She is now at par with Barcelona teammate Jenni Hermoso on the Primera Iberdrola topscorer chart with 20 goals.

Oshoala also made an assist in their 6-0 win over Logrono in the Spanish Primera Iberdrola encounter on Saturday.

The four-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year has been on song for the Catalans, scoring 15 goals in her last 10 outings for the Spanish side, goal.com reported.

The Super Cup winners continued their high-flying form when Marta Torrejon opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before Oshoala set up Alexia Putellas to double the lead a minute later.

In the second half, van der Gragt played through Oshoala to extend the lead to four for Lluis Cortes’ side in the 54th minute before Aitana Bonmati teed up the Nigerian for her brace 16 minutes later.

A minute from full-time, Mariona set up Oshoala for her third of the match and sixth for Barcelona to guarantee another big away win.

So far this season, Oshoala, who played for the duration in the match, has now scored 20 goals in 19 league matches and 26 in 24 games in all competitions.

As it stands, the win means Barcelona are 12 points clear at the summit with 56 points from 20 matches, pending the outcome of Sunday’s derby between Madrid CFF and rivals Atletico Madrid.
