Newcastle United's Yankuba Minteh scored twice and assisted one as Feyenoord battered Ajax 6-0 in the Eredivisie.
The loanee signed for Newcastle in the summer from OB Odense, was immediately loaned out to the Dutch champions after signing his contract for Newcastle in Rotterdam.
It wasn't until around Christmas that Minteh even stepped foot in Newcastle, making a visit to see the Newcastle club doctors while injured.
The winger is having an impressive season for Feyenoord having scored 10 goals and provided four assists in all competitions this season so far.
The Gambian scored twice in the game against Ajax with his second being a stunning curling effort from the edge of the 18-yard box.
After the game, Minteh was spotted casually walking home - surrounded by singing Feyenoord fans - as the 19-year-old hasn't yet learned to drive.
We love this. Just shows how humble he is. We're sure he'll learn to drive at some point, but at least he's not like some footballers who think the laws don't apply to them because they can easily pay the fines and just drive anyway.
It now remains to be seen what happens with Minteh at the end of this season with Feyenoord hoping they get another season-long loan deal done.
We think it could go either way and the decision won't be made on his future until Eddie Howe has had a chance to see him in action in pre-season.
If he impresses then we're sure he'll be kept around and used by Howe next season, or the gaffer could feel he could benefit from another season out on loan which would put Feyenoord on high alert for sure.
