Hattrick against Västerås SK and a goal against IFK Värnamo – tonight Anthony van den Hurk followed up his fine goal result in recent matches by making a new hat trick in the home meeting with Falkenberg, all goals on nod.
The goals meant that Helsingborg was able to defeat Falkenberg with a total of 4-0, after Assad Al Hamlawi scored the last goal in stoppage time, and also means that the 28-year-old now alone tops the Superettan’s shooters. In the last three matches, van den Hurk has now scored seven goals.
– I do not know what’s happening. These are sunny days for me as a striker now, says van den Hurk to Discovery + after the match.
– It has been very positive. The most important thing is that we take three points today, I can help the team with three goals, it is very positive.
When asked if he can keep the ball in memory of his hat trick, van den Hurk answers: Discovery +
– That was a good question! I’m going to look for it now, I do not know where it is.
The victory means that Helsingborg now stands at 21 recorded points in twelve rounds. They have seven points up to league-leading Landskrona Bois, who, however, have one match more played. With the loss, Falkenberg is last in the Superettan.
In the next match, HIF will face Trelleborg away, while Falkenberg will take on Norrby.
