Kljestan guides Anderlecht to big win in Belgium

Sacha Kljestan netted his first goal of the season as Belgian champion Anderlecht beat Gent 4-1 in the Jupiler Pro League on the weekend.

The USA national team midfielder got on the end of a knockdown from Dennis Praet to fire home the opener in the 32nd minute at the Stade Constant Vanden Stock.

Praet soon doubled Anderlecht's advantage before Massimo Bruno netted a third four minutes into the second half prior to Frank Acheampong's 78th minute goal.

Nicklas Pedersen pulled one goal back in injury time but the damage had already been done as Anderlecht moved to fifth on the table after three matches.
