The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has celebrated Victor Osimhen after the forward netted a hat-trick in Nigeria’s 6-0 rout of Sao Tome and Principe on Sunday.

Osimhen opened scoring for the Super Eagles in the encounter and netted twice in the second half.

“Spoiler: Yes he does..THREE TIMES,” CAF posted.

The African football governing body wrote on their website: “He just can’t stop scoring.

“Osimhen’s ruthlessness in front of goal proved the difference as Nigeria coasted to victory.”
