Kenyan international Michael Olunga has been rated higher than Barcelona's duo of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the La Liga's team of the week.
The lanky forward was on fine form last Saturday after his three goals inspired his Girona side to wallop a bogey Las Palmas side 6-0.
And with the electrifying performance, the former Gor Mahia and Djurgadens IF striker was rated the best in the eleven-man squad with a 9.9.
Messi had a rating of 8.9 with Suarez coming close with 8.8.
Olunga's teammate Borja Garcia also made the cut.
The team of the week is normally a squad nomination of the players who were extremely impressive in their immediate previous outing with their respective teams.
Olunga became the first Kenyan to score a hat-trick in the Spanish La Liga and the first Girona player to achieve the same.
'Engineer' as he is popularly known moved to the Spanish side on loan from Chinese Super League side Ghuizhou Zicheng.
He has however endured less playtime with the La Liga outfit mostly coming in as a substitute, however with the goal poaching instincts he unleashed on Saturday there are hopes that he will rise in the team's pecking order.
Prior to the Chinese outfit,Olunga also featured for Swedish Allsvenskan side IF Djurgadens where he scored twelve goals for the team.
