RKC won just their third league game all season on Friday at the expense of FC Twente, running out 3-0 winners largely due to the performance of Stijn Spierings, who scored two of the goals in the second half.

The hosts may be bottom of the table, but they took on a Twente side in a wretched run of form and scored the opener just 12 minutes in.

Thereafter, the game belonged to Spierings as he made it two in the 47th minute with a deflected strike past the goalkeeper. There was nothing fortuitous about his second, though, as he emphatically found the back of the net with a fierce strike flashed into the corner.

His command of the ball was impressive, too, as he completed 51/56 passes, while he also made seven ball recoveries and two clearances.
