The Netherlands international netted in each half on Saturday as he played for the first 75 minutes - and he wasn't the only on-loan Magpie to hit the target.
On Sunday, Florian Thauvin was among the scorers for Marseille in a 4-1 victory against Lorient, while he also had a hand in two other goals before coming off in the 62nd minute.
In the Swiss SuperLeague, Kevin Mbabu also laid on a goal as BSC Young Boys beat Thun 3-2. The defender played the whole game.
