Super Falcons star Ashleigh Plumptre bagged a hat-trick to help Al-Ittihad thrash rivals Al Ahly 6-2, in the Saudi Arabia women’s Premier League on Thursday night.
It is Plumptre’s second hat-trick in the league, after first achieving the feat on matchday one in a 3-0 win at Eastern Flames FC in October.
The former Leicester defender doubled Al-Ittihad’s lead in the 29th minute as she slammed home a knock down pass inside the box with her right foot.
In first half added time, Plumptre made it 4-0. She collected a pass in the midfield charged forward and unleashed a long range left-foot volley past the keeper.

Plumptre has now taken her goals tally in the league to six from six games.
Also, she is joint top scorer with Tanzania’s Clara Luvanga who plays for Al Nassr.
The win against Al Ahly took Al-Ittihad temporarily to second place on 13 points in the eight-team league table.
