Belgian-Nigerian midfielder Ryan Sanusi continued his fine form for Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam by netting in their 3-1 win over Heracles in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Sanusi set his team on the path to victory when his effort was deflected into the back of the net in the 29th minute to give his side a 1-0 lead over the visitors.
He was however booked in the 50th minute for a trip on Robin Gosens, which could easily have seen him shown a red card but for the leniency of the referee.
Born to a Nigerian father and a Belgian mother, the 25 year old has already represented Belgium at U-20 level but not at senior level, which makes him eligible to switch allegiance to Nigeria.
