Onyekuru has been in good form for Galatasaray even before the break.

Gumus Sinan scored the opener for Galatasaray as early as the first minute before Onyekuru doubled the lead in the 20th minute converting a ball through to him by Badou Ndiaye.

Sinan scored again as Galatasaray took a three goal lead to the halftime break.

Upon resumption of the second half, Onyekuru scored his second through an assist by Fernando in the 59th minute.

Onyekuru scored his third to complete his hat-trick in the 63rd minute as Ndaiye wrapped up the result with the last goal of the game in the 86th minute.

The result takes Galatasaray to second on the table behind Istanbul Basakheir.

He took to his official Instagram account to post a video of his goal.

In the post Onyekuru said, "The moves you make when you get your first hat-trick.

"A great start to the year and a team performance, all glory to God ."

In Onyekuru's post the move he made upon celebration of his goal is called Zanku.

The Zanku move Onyekuru showed off is a local Nigerian dance which involves the tapping on the two legs alternatively in rhythm and is used in Nigerian.

He is expected to return to action when Galatasaray take on Goztepe in their next league fixture scheduled for Saturday, January 26.
