FRANKFURT: Serbian striker Luka Jović scored five goals as Eintracht Frankfurt ran riot by beating Fortuna Düsseldorf 7-1 in the Bundesliga on Friday.
The 20-year-old, with two Serbia caps, scored his opener in the 26th minute and his fifth in the 72nd to help lift his side to sixth in the table.
Only two other foreign players have achieved a similar feat in the Bundesliga – Poland’s Robert Lewandowski for Bayern Munich three years ago and Iceland’s Atli Eðvaldsson for Düsseldorf back in 1983.
No other player from Frankfurt has ever scored five in a game and Jović’s goals lifted Frankfurt above champions Bayern Munich, who play at Wolfsburg on Saturday.
There were 51,000 fans in the stadium on hand to see the rout with Frenchman Sébastien Haller getting the other two goals.
Frankurt, however, lost goalkeeper Kevin Trapp who was replaced due to injury.
