Carl Toko-Ekambi scored a hat-trick of goals in a landslide 5-0 victory over defending champions FA, which received its third successive loss in the Saudi Professional Football League on Friday.

Steven Gerrard's side advanced to sixth with 44 points, six behind the Fifth Union.

Sekou Fofana gave the visiting team the lead after five minutes of play, before Moussa Dembley boosted the score with a penalty awarded after the video referee's review.

Ekambi celebrated for the first time with a goal in the 35 minute before making it 4-0 four minutes later, and then wrapped up his goals ten minutes after the break.
