PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) coach Esteban Solari hailed “fantastic” Arif Aiman Hanapi and believes the sky is the limit for the winger who scored a hattrick against Selangor in the FA Cup semi-final at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Monday.

JDT secured a 4-0 win over Selangor where Arif scored in the 20th, 33rd and 38th minutes while experienced Fernando Forestieri scored the fourth goal in the 47th minute to continue his team’s dominance this season.
