Moses Simon was on target in Gent’s 3-0 win over Zulte-Waregem at the Ghelamco Arena on Sunday afternoon in the Belgian First Division A.

The 21-year-old made the starting line-up alongside fellow Nigeria international Anderson Esiti, while Rabiu Ibrahim and Kingsley Madu started on the bench for Gent and Zulte-Waregem respectively.

Thirteen minutes before the end of the contest, Simon scored to give the home team a two-goal cushion, before Madu entered into the fray in the 86th minute.

Kalifa Coulibaly had got the ball rolling two minutes out of intermission, and a goal from Hannes van der Bruggen in the closing minutes ensured the three points were safe in the bag for the 2015 champions. 

Scouts representing Manchester United, Everton , Aston Villa, Norwich City and Newcastle United were at the Ghelamco Arena to watch the match.
