Beşiktaş has reclaimed top spot in the Süper Lig after thrashing Rizespor 6-0 at Vodafone Arena on Wednesday. Canadian striker Cyle Larin had his greatest day in a Beşiktaş shirt, scoring four goals to give him 10 in 15 league appearances this season.

After a slow start to life in Europe, the 25-year-old has now scored five goals in his last three appearances to put the continent on notice. While we’re very pleased for Larin and Canada, three of his goals today were the result of a comedy of errors from Rizespor.  

The opener, however, was a great Beşiktaş team goal in the 19th-minute that saw Larin involved in the build-up before providing the finish at the far post.  

Larin’s brace came in the 31st minute. It was a poor defensive back-header, but the former Orlando City striker applied the pressure, predicted the error and finished with a beautiful lob.  

The hat-trick arrived in the 79th-minute after a terrible piece of communication between goalkeeper and defender presented Larin with the easiest of finishes. 

His good fortune would continue just four minutes later thanks to another ridiculous back pass, but Larin’s finish was again composed.  

Larin also got the assist on Beşiktaş’ final goal by passing it back to Ajdin Hasić and allowing the 19-year-old to do the rest. What a finish.

Larin's final stat line was profound.  

Beşiktaş returns in Süper Lig action on Sunday, Jan. 10, against Hatayspor. That’s followed by a big one: Beşiktaş vs. Galatasaray on Sunday, Jan. 17.
