Martins hits hat-trick for Shanghai Shenhua

Obafemi Martins scored a hat-trick for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League game on Saturday.

Shanghai recorded a 4-2 win over Hebei CFFC.

Martins scored in the 62nd, 76th and 90th minutes at the Hongkou Stadium.

The game was the first of the CSL campaign for the former Inter Milan and Newcastle United forward.

The striker’s impressive performance comes at a time when Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles head coach, is yet to decide on his squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Martins was one of the CSL’s most lethal striker in the previous season. He has now scored 32 goals in 58 appearances for Shanghai.
