PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim’s young winger Arif Aiman Hanapi is in full flight in the FA Cup.

The 20-year-old showed that he has more in his arsenal than silky dribbling skills and superb crosses as he hit a hattrick in the Southern Tigers’ 6-1 mauling of Penang in the semi-final at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Friday.
