The striker, who came over from ADO Den Haag, entered as a substitute for Colin Kazim-Richards and earned the visitors the lead with a header on a cross by Bilal Basacikoglu. Dirk Kuyt scored the second and final goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time on Sunday, reports Xinhua.

On Saturday in Amsterdam, Arek Milik opened the scoring for Ajax against Willem II. Anwar El Ghazi added two goals in the second half. With four goals, El Ghazi is the leading scorer after two match rounds in the Eredivisie.

Thanks to a brace by Luciano Narsingh, reigning champions PSV beat FC Groningen 2-0 on Sunday. Also on Sunday FC Utrecht drew 1-1 against Heerenveen and Heracles Almelo was too strong for NEC (3-0).

On Friday Vitesse beat Roda JC Kerkrade 3-0 and on Saturday PEC Zwolle won 3-0 at bottom side De Graafschap, ADO Den Haag surprised with a 4-1 victory at FC Twente and Excelsior and AZ drew 2-2 in Rotterdam.
