Paul-Jose M'Poku: Standard Liege's star ends five-year Europa League hoodoo against Vitoria de Guimaraes

Paul-Jose M'Poku scored his first Europa League goal since 2014 in Standard Liege’s 2-0 triumph over Vitoria de Guimaraes on Thursday.

The DR Congo international capitalised on a defensive blunder from Burkina Faso’s Edmond Tapsoba before beating Miguel Silva in goal for the Portuguese outfit.

After a goalless first half, Florent Hanin turned the ball into his net to hand the Belgians a 66th minute lead before M’Poku sealed victory with his late minute strike.
