Having scored in the winner against Clermont Foot, the striker started from the bench and replaced Lucas Perrin in the 77th minute.

Strasbourg started poorly, allowing Bordeaux to take a 3-0 lead before 40 minutes, after Hwang Ui-Jo's first half brace was sandwiched by Albert Elis' striker.

However, veteran forward Kevin Gameiro pulled one back for Strasbourg before the break. He then netted again 12 minutes into the second half to reduce the deficit.

And just when Strasbourg were getting themselves into the game, after waves and waves of attack, Ui-Jo completed his hat-trick with his side's fourth on 90 minutes.

Majeed Waris pulled one back in injury time but it was a little too late for the vistors to stage a mammoth comeback.

His return to form has seen Ghanaians asking for his Black Stars comeback.
