Chuba Akpom ended his goal drought with a hat trick for Ajax Amsterdam in their Europa League Play-off first-leg match against Jagiellonia Bialystok on Thursday.

Before this game, the forward had failed to score in his four appearances for the former Dutch champions this season.

However, he broke the drought by scoring in the 10th, 61st, and 69th minutes of the match.

This was his first hat trick for Ajax since joining from Middlesbrough last summer.

Jagiellonia Bialystok took an early lead through Adrian Dieguez in the fifth minute, but Akpom quickly equalized for Ajax just a few minutes later.

Mika Godts then put Ajax ahead in the 27th minute.

Akpom’s second goal in the 61st minute made it 3-1 for Ajax, and he completed his hat trick from the penalty spot in the 69th minute.
