Sergio Pena the hat-trick assist hero for Emmen as he tops Eredivisie rankings

Martin Macdonald

Sergio Pena put on an excellent creative display as Emmen beat Willem II 4-2, with him setting up the first three goals.

The first came via a wicked cross to the front post from a corner kick which was converted by Miguel Araujo.

To help assist the next two, he sent a couple of neat passes into the feet of his team-mates around the edge of the box, with the second being superbly cut across as a half-volley with the ball slightly airborne.

He was already man of the man at that point, but earned himself a deserved place on the scoresheet to make it 4-2 and take the game beyond the visitors with a slammed finish into the roof of the net after possession dropped fortuitously to him around 13 yards out.

In terms of passing, he completed 54/64, with 21 of these balls being sent into the final third.
