His strikes rendered Dylan Vente's 66th-minute goal for Zwolle nothing more than a consolation as the two-time Dutch champions held on for the win.

Sadiq is also tied as the league’s top scorer, sharing the spot with PSV Eindhoven's Hirving Lozano, further underlining his impact in front of goal.

His combination of pace, positioning, and clinical finishing has made him a nightmare for defenders, and Alkmaar will look to him to maintain this form as they push for further success in the Dutch top flight.
