LOAN WATCH: Yaw Yeboah joins Man City mate Unal on Twente scoring charts

Yaw Yeboah opened his goalscoring account for FC Twente on the weekend.

The 19-year-old Ghanaian striker, who is on loan from Manchester City, grabbed his first goal for the Dutch club in their 3-1 Eredivisie win over Sparta Rotterdam at De Grolsh Veste on Saturday night.

In the 36th minute, Yeboah latched onto a ball from Dejan Trajkovski from the left and produced a fine curling effort from 20 yards to kickstart his loan spell in fine fashion.

Yeboah's City colleague Enes Unal, who scored a hat-trick against Groningen last weekend, was involved in Hakim Ziyech's 14th-minute opener when smartly flicking on goalkeeper Nick Marsman's long ball before Yeboah made it 2-0 just over 20 minutes later.

Unal could have made it 3-0 early in the second half when racing onto a ball from Ziyech, who is now set to join Ajax, but fired a slow shot straight at Sparta keeper Roy Kortsmit.

Loris Brogno converted from the spot for Sparta on 54 minutes but Ziyech wrapped it up just prior to the hour-mark to see Rene Hake's side move up to seventh on the Dutch top flight.
