Dutch-born Ghanaian talent Ernest Poku put up an impressive cameo performance to help AZ Alkmaar triumph over NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie.

The 20-year-old attacker missed out on the starting line up in his outfit away fixture against NEC Nijmegen on Sunday.

The Ghanaian youngster replaced his compatriot Ibrahim Sadiq in the 90th minute mark and made a good account of himself.

Despite making late appearance, the youngster managed to register his name on the scoresheet as his side cruised to a resounding 3-0 away win.

The visitors opened the scoring after just 16 minutes into the game through Dani de Wit, as they went to the halftime break with the advantage.

Putting on a stellar performance, AZ Alkmaar scored two additional goals in the second half to snatch a comfortable win at the Goffertstadion.

AZ Alkmaar doubled their advantage in the 58th minute, when Vangelis Pavlidis found the back of the opponent net before Ernest Poku scored to seal victory in injury time.

The Dutch-Ghanaian attacker has scored one goal and provided 4 assists in 19 appearances in the Eredivisie.
