Cedric Bakambu scored four goals and assisted another as Beijing Guoan hammered Chongqing Dangdai Lifan 5-2 in a Chinese Super League match on Tuesday.
The efforts stretched Bakambu's tally to seven goals in his last four league outings after going without scoring a goal in his first four appearances this season.
Bakambu opened the scoring for Beijing Guoan at the Kunshan Sports Centre Stadium in the 13th minute and later doubled their lead in the 43rd minute.
The 29-year-old continued from where he stopped after the break by providing an assist for Wang Wiming who scored the hosts' third goal in the encounter.
