Former Spurs striker enjoys stellar display in Eredivisie‘This was a very big bump,’ says Van Persie after defeat
The former Tottenham striker Troy Parrott scored four goals for AZ Alkmaar as the Eredivisie club enjoyed a 9-1 victory over Heerenveen whose fledgling head coach, Robin van Persie, called the defeat a “very big bump”.
Parrott, who went without a goal in his first four games since joining in the summer, netted once in the first half and then added three more goals in eight second-half minutes in a seismic win to propel his club up to second in the Dutch top flight.
