Former DC United starlet Najar nets maiden Anderlecht goal

Andy Najar scored his first goal for Belgian side Anderlecht on the weekend.

The 20-year old Honduran winger, who officially joined the Brussels from DC United for $3million in January 2013, netted in the second minute of his side's eventual 2-1 loss at KV Mechelen.

Najar rose above his marker to head home Massimo Bruno's leftwing cross at the back post to give second-placed Anderlecht an early lead before they conceded in the 30th and 57th minutes to fall seven points behind Jupiler Pro League leaders Standard Liege.

DC United academy product Najar has made six league starts for eight appearances so far this season.
