Ronald Koeman Jr, the goalkeeper son of the former Netherlands player and manager Ronald Koeman, scored two penalties for Dutch side Telstar to rescue a point in their Eredivisie match with Cambuur, on Sunday.

His second spot-kick was converted in the 11th minute of added time.

Koeman Jr, 31, converted his first penalty on 63 minutes before his ice-cool equaliser.

Yamal’s Double Powers Barcelona To Valencia Rout, Now Three Points Clear Of Real Madrid

Lamine Yamal struck twice for Barcelona as they demolished Valencia 5-0 on Sunday to maintain their 100% start in La Liga.

The reigning champions moved three points clear at the top of La Liga after Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid lost 1-0 at Real Betis on Friday.

Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri were also on target for Hansi Flick’s swaggering visitors on a hot afternoon on Spain’s east coast.

Barcelona, the only team in the top flight to win their first four games, took control from the start to the upset of Valencia’s fans at a persistently bad-tempered Mestalla stadium.

“We played a fantastic game, it was nearly perfect, we controlled, we were dominant and this is what I want from the team,” said coach Hansi Flick.

“We stay calm and then if it’s possible to score, we try to do it – it was a fantastic game for us. Nothing is perfect, you always can improve. If it’s perfect then you can stop working,” he added matter-of-factly.

Yamal opened the scoring with a clever lofted finish in the sixth minute after Fermín dinked a superb ball over the top for the teenage star.

Fermín netted the second with a crisp finish in the 22nd minute after the former Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon teed him up.

Barcelona suffered a blow when Eric García had to go off hurt midway through the first half after a collision with teammate Rodri’s shoulder, on the midfielder’s first start since arriving this summer from Manchester City.

Raphinha, starting again as the team’s centre-forward, tapped home his sixth goal of the season from close range after Fermín fed him.

The Valencia goalkeeper, Stole Dimitrievski, saved from Rodri before Pedri netted Barcelona’s fourth after an exchange of passes with Dani Olmo.

Gabriel Jesus came on for his Barça debut as a substitute in the final 10 minutes and sent a low effort just wide.

Yamal stayed onside to collect another Olmo pass and put away Barça’s fifth.
