Ghana international Joseph Paintsil says Genk's win over Club Brugge in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League is for the fans.
The 25-year-old registered his name on the scoresheet on Sunday when Genk beat defending champions Club Brugge 3-1 at the Cegeka Arena.
After the game, the enterprising winger took to social media and dedicated the win to the fans for their incredible support.
“Incredible support from the fans yesterday. This is for you💙 #genkies” he tweeted

Club Brugge opened the scoring through Hans Vanaken before Genk restored parity through Daniel Munoz as the first half ended 1-1.
After the break, the home team proved their worth and grabbed their second goal through Mark McKenzie before the in-form Ghana forward sealed the win for the host in the 83rd minute mark.
The comeback win has stretched Genk’s lead on the league table to three points.
The 25-year-old had scored earlier in the game but his effort was ruled for offside after a VAR review.
Paintsil has been the best player for Genk in the Belgian top-tier this season, having scored 15 times and assisted 12 times in 31 appearances this campaign.
