Loan Watch: Nelson scores and assists twice

Twelve of our players were in action for their respective loan clubs over the past week.

Read on to find out how they performed:

Reiss Nelson scored his first Eredivisie goal of the season and provided two assists in Feyenoord’s 4-1 win against Heracles. Our winger played a clever one-two with Orkun Kokcu inside the box, who rifled home at the near post to score the Dutch side's equaliser after 21 minutes. Nelson then gave Feyenoord the lead five minutes before the break, finding the top corner with an impressive strike from 12 yards after Heracles failed to clear the initial corner. Our winger completed his impactful first-half display with another assist on the stroke of half time, getting the final touch to lay the ball into the path of Guus Til to score from close range. The win keeps the Dutch side third in the Eredivisie, 11 points behind the league leaders, Ajax, after 29 matches.

Nikolaj Moller played 31 minutes and scored as FC Den Bosch beat Dordrecht 3-0. The strike was our forward's second of his loan spell and helped the Dutch side up to 11th in the Eerste Divisie after 34 matches.
