Nigeria star Henry Onyekuru snatched a double for his Belgium First Divison A side Anderlecht to ensure the side maintained a superb record against Lokeren in recent league matches courtesy of a 3-2 win on Friday 8 September at the Stade Constant Vanden Stock in Brussels.

Anderlecht started the match on a brighter note with the Nigerian scoring three minutes into the encounter but the visitors struck twice within half an hour to head into the break with a none goal cushion.

Onyekuru was at it again 17 minutes after the hour mark for his third goal of the session with a shot after connecting well with a Teodorczyk cross to put home side back on level terms.

Anderlech grabbed maximum point in the last minute of the match when Teodorckyk netted a late finish for Rene Weller coached team.

The victory means Anderlecht move into seven spots after six games with eight points, seven points behind leaders Club Brugge while Lokeren sit two points and three spots behind Onyekuru and his troops on the 16-team table.

Onyekuru who is on loan at the Belgian side from Premier League outfit, Everton will be back in action in Germany where they face Bayern Munich in a UEFA Champions League match day 1 fixture on Tuesday.
