Super-sub Dessers makes Eredivisie history with match-winning goal in Feyenoord win

Cyriel Dessers has become the first Feyenoord player to score four goals as a substitute in a Eredivisie campaign in over two decades after his match-winning goal in their 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar.

It was a cagey affair at the Stadion Feijenoord as both Feyenoord and AZ failed to break the deadlock until Dessers was introduced in the final 10 minutes of the game.

The 26-year-old replaced Brian Linssen in the 82nd minute and he went on to secure maximum points for the hosts with the only goal of the encounter in the 92nd minute.

The late strike took the Genk loanee's tally to four goals after seven Eredivisie matches this season, with the all the goals coming via substitute appearances.
