Against RFC Seraing, he first scored from the spot in the 7th minute – Only 4 of his goals have come from the lottery.
His second in the 60th minute was from open play, assisted by Mike Trésor, who had doubled for the hosts in the 14th minute.
Meanwhile, Paul Onuachu got just over an hour of action, the 9th time this season where he was taken off in the game.
The final goal was scored by Ghana international, Joseph Paintsil, in the 64th minute to complete a four-game winning streak in the league.
Next up for the League leaders is a road game against KAS Eupen on February 1, at the Stadion am Kehrweg.
