After scoring four on Sunday in the Belgium league, Nigerian striker Gift Emmanuel Orban bags three on Wednesday night in the Conference League in the span of just four minutes!

The history has been written by a mesmerizing African striker this Wednesday night in Europe! KAA Gent's forward Gift Emmanuel Orban has scored a larger-than-life, fastest-ever hattrick in the history of any European competition!

Since 1955, when the official encounters between the thousands of clubs across Europe started, not a single player has ever scored three goals in just four minutes. Until tonight!

Joseph Okumu's teammate Gift Orban, 20, has done it on a cold Wednesday night in the UEFA Conference League knockout game against Turkish side Basaksehir. The Belgians stormed to an impressive 4-1 away win to advance to the next stage after sharing spoils in the first leg, 1-1.

The history of not only KAA Gent but the entire African and European football was written between the 31st and 34th minute of this match. It took our hero Gift only four minutes to bag a sensational hattrick that goes down in history for its unique attribute.

Moreover, the same guy netted incredible four goals just three days ago against Waregem in a 6-2 away victory.

So, if you think Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman are the only Nigerian superstars in Europe... think again. This kid is Gift that keeps on giving!
