When you score a hat-trick... but all three goals are disallowed!

It wasn't Cedric Bakambu's day on Saturday. The Villarreal striker had the ball in the back of the net on three occasions against Malaga but none of them made it onto the scoreboard.

Villarreal took all three points with a 2-0 win against a struggling Malaga side at the Estadio de la Cerámica, but it was no thanks to the 'goals' from Bakambu,

The Congolese international striker cut an exasperated figure as the referee ruled out three of his goals over the course of the La Liga clash.

The first came in the 26th minute, when the scores were still level at 0-0, while the second and third came in the 84th and 88th minutes when the win was already all but secured.

Curiously, none of the decisions were controversial, as each goal was cancelled because Bakambu was rightly ruled offside.

Maybe he'll look twice along the defensive line before making a run next time round...
