LOAN WATCH: Chelsea starlet Piazon scores winner for Vitesse in win over NEC Nijmegen

Lucas Piazon scored in the last minute to give Vitesse Arnhem all three points in their 3-2 defeat of NEC Nijmegen in the Dutch Eredivisie on the weekend.

After substitute Michael Higdon equalized for NEC five minutes before time, the game seemed destined for a draw.

However, the young Chelsea starlet finished brilliantly from the edge of the box as the ball flew into the bottom corner, leaving NEC keeper Karl Johan Johnsson helpless.

The win elevates Vitesse to fourth on the Eredivisie table, only one point behind leaders FC Twente, whilst Piazon has now scored three goals in five outings for the Vitas.
