Feyenoord win 5-3 at Heerenveen in goal fest

Feyenoord won 5-3 away to Heerenveen in a remarkable Dutch Eredivisie encounter on Sunday.

The team from Rotterdam led by four goals just after the break thanks to two from Jens Toornstra (four and 45 minutes) and one each from Robin van Persie (14 minutes) and Tyrell Malacia (46 minutes) before letting their opponents back into the match.

Heerenveen scored three goals in under 20 minutes through Morten Thorsby (70 minutes), Kik Pierie (84 minutes) and Davy Bulthuis (88 minutes) to give them hope of rescuing something from the game.

But it was Feyenoord who struck again, with Moroccan international Yassin Ayoub making the points safe for the visitors after 90 minutes.
