Super Falcons star, Jennifer Echegini is buzzing after registering her first professional hat-trick over the weekend.

The forward guided Juventus to a 4-0 success over Fiorentina in the Serie A Femminile at the Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo Lamarmora in Biella.

Echegini converted three of the four shots she attempted at goal on the night to take her goal tally in the league campaign to eight.

Reacting to her performance that saw them edge Fiorentina, said: “I’m, firstly, really excited, and I want to give props to my team,” the former Arsenal youth academy star said.

“For every one of those goals, we all worked for it and they’re great team goals. I really just had to put myself in the position and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.

“I’m really excited to have had the opportunity to be able to show what I can do; that makes me happy. I just want to make the most out of any opportunity I get, whether I score or not I want to be able to make an impact and I’m glad to have done that today.

“I know my strengths. Last year, I scored 16 goals and knowing that I always try to put myself in the best position to score, that’s one of my best attributes and I want to make use of it as best I can.”​

Echegini is now the league’s second top scorer, just a goal behind 33-year-old Cristiana Girelli.
