Mustapha 'Toubabo' Jarju

Gambia international midfielder Mustapha ‘Toubabo’ Jarju’s RAEC Mons had to wait until the final quarter of an hour to wrap up their 3-0 victory over Waasland-Beveren at the Stade Charles Tondreau.

French defender Gregory Lorenzi made it 1-0 from the spot in the 36th minute but the home side failed to double their lead until 12 minutes from time when Thomas Chatelle scored after being set up by Peter Franquart.

Arnor Agneli completed the three-goal triumph in the 89th minute as Mons drew level with Mechelen on 25 points in the middle of the standings.

They face fourth-placed Standard Liège next at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne stadium.
