Lacazette's Scoring Spree Mirrors Football Legend
22 Aug
Summary
- Lacazette scored thrice against Al-Faisaly in two matches.
- The matches occurred at the same stadium within three days.
- This feat replicates striker Leandre Tawamba's 2019 achievement.
Alexandre Lacazette, playing for Neom, has recently accomplished a striking parallel to a feat previously achieved by Leandre Tawamba. Lacazette scored a total of three goals against Al-Faisaly across two different competitions. These matches took place at the Al-Majma'ah Sports City Stadium, with only three days separating them.
His scoring spree began with a hat-trick in Neom's 3-1 victory over Al-Faisaly in the King's Cup round of 32 on Tuesday. Just three days later, Lacazette returned to the same venue and scored twice in Neom's 2-0 win in the Saudi Roshn League.
This remarkable sequence of events is reminiscent of Leandre Tawamba's performance in 2019. The former Al-Taawoun striker also scored against Al-Hilal in both the King's Cup semi-finals and a league match at the King Saud University Stadium within a three-day span, leading his team to victory on both occasions. Lacazette's achievement is further distinguished by his higher goal count across the two games.
