Now even in the Netherlands they understand that Eran Zehavi is a little hard to stop.
The Israeli striker was also selected yesterday (Sunday) as the outstanding player of the game after winning another double and helping PSV Eindhoven to get a 1: 3 away win over Fortuna Sitard.
The fiery Zahavi, who fell ill in Corona when he arrived in the Netherlands and missed quite a few games, already has nine league goals in just 17 games.
In 2021, the Israeli managed to score 12 goals in 15 games in all competitions, and in fact only Leo Messi and Yorgos Yakumakis (13 goals each) and Robert Lewandowski (15) have found the net more times than Zahavi since January 1, 2021.
