Belgium Jupiler league club RKC Genk is back to winning ways in style on Sunday's evening as they thrashed visiting KAS Eupen 5-0, BSNsports.com.ng gathered.

It was lanky Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Paul Onauchu that stole the show with a hat trick to secure a maximum for the host.

He opened the scoring in the 11th and 45th minutes from the penalty spot and ensured that Genk returned to the locker room with a comfortable lead.

Ito made it 3-0 in the 46th minute before Heynem netted the fourth goal in the 68th minute of the encounter.

Onuachu completed the rout in the 80th minute before he was replaced in the 81st minute by Nemeth.

Despite his injury worry, Onuachu has scored 19 league goals for Genk this season.
