In a video posted on the club's YouTube page, the former Schalke 04 player showed class as he ended the game as Man of the Match, with his two goals.

Tekpetey doubled the lead with a fine finish two minutes later, before setting up Matias Tissera in the 23rd minute in a rampant first half from the hosts.

The Ghana international then finished off the mauling with his second of the day and Ludogorets fourth on the night.

Jon Bakero pulled one back for the visitors but it was too late for a redemption.

Ludogorets are now fourteen points clear off second place CSKA Sofia with four games remaining to end the championship in Bulgaria.

It will be the second title for Tekpetey if Ludogorets finish the season as champions.
