Spurs loan watch: 3 wins from 3 for Tottenham loanee

Luka Vuskovic played his third game for KVC Westerlo this afternoon, and registered his third win.

There was some doubt over whether or not the Croatian central defender would play today, having been forced off with injury at half-time in the win over Mechelen last weekend, but he was again in the starting line-up and was good to go.

It was an incredible game over in Belgium, as Westerlo beat their visitors Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 4-3.

Vuskovic conceded his first goal in KVC Westerlo colors five minutes into the game and 140 minutes into his Westerlo career when Kevin Rodriguez opened the score five minutes in.

Westerlo then scored four uninterrupted goals to take a 4-1 lead by the 54th minute, surely in no doubt of winning the game.

However, Rodriguez then got one back for the visitors, before a goal from substitute Noah Sadiki made it 4-3 in injury time. Luckily for Vuskovic and Westerlo, they were able to hang on in there and make it three wins from three at the start of the Belgian Pro League season.

Although not the best day at the office defensively, Vuskovic still registered three tackles, including an important last-man tackle, won his singular aerial duel, and won 5/8 ground duels.

The three wins out of three for Vuskovic and Westerlo see them top of the league, ahead of Anderlecht in second place. After Anderlecht drew to OH Leuven, Vuskovic's side are the only team in the Belgian Pro League to pick up nine points from their first three games.

Next up for Vuskovic and Westerlo is Belgian giants Gent. Gent will play a Conference League qualifier less than 72 hours before the game, which could play into Westerlo's hands. They also play tomorrow, meaning they will play twice before next week's showdown. The game will be next Sunday, the 18th of August, 18:15 BST kick-off.
