Iran's Jahanbakhsh becomes 1st Asian ever to win Dutch league Golden Boot

Xinhua,May 07, 2018 Adjust font size:

TEHRAN, May 7 (Xinhua) -- Iranian international soccer player Alireza Jahanbakhsh finished as the top scorer in the Dutch Eredivise with 21 goals.

Starting Sunday's final round of the 2017-18 campaign on 18 goals, one more than PSV Eindhoven's Hirving Lozano and Bjorn Maars Johnsen of ADO Den Haag, it took Jahanbakhsh just 13 minutes to break the deadlock against PEC Zwolle.

The 24-year-old doubled his side's tally seven minutes after the restart and, following further goals by Fredrik Midtsjo and Wout Weghorst (2), completed his hat-trick in the 88th minute to seal a 6-0 win.

With Lozano failing to hit the target in a 0-0 draw with Groningen, Johnsen emerged as Jahanbaksh's main competitor and the Norwegian did net two goals in a 3-2 triumph over Roda JC.

Nonetheless, his valiant challenge ultimately came up short as Jahanbakhsh finished two goals above him to seal the Golden Boot.

Jahanbakhsh becomes the first Asian ever to finish as the highest-scoring player in an Eredivisie campaign. Enditem
