Jozy Altidore returned from the Dutch League’s winter break in style, recording a hat-trick in AZ Alkmaar’s 4-1 win against Vitesse Arnhem.
All three of Altidore’s goals came in a 15-minute span in the second half and the hat-trick haul gives him 14 league goals on the season, tied for second-most in the Eredivisie. He scored on a pair of headers and a close-range finish.
Here are the goals:

What do you think of Altidore’s hat-trick performance? See him having a big year for the U.S. Men’s National Team? Think he’ll be sold for an eight-figure transfer this summer?
