Motherwell hero Kevin van Veen scores 20 minutes into debut for new side FC Groningen

Motherwell hero Kevin van Veen hasn't lost his scoring touch amid a summer of speculation that eventually saw him leave Fir Park for Dutch Eerste Divisie side FC Groningen.

For the Dutchman netted just 20 minute into his debut for his new side yesterday.

Van Veen, who netted 29 goals in all competitions last season, picked up where he left off in Scotland, scoring the second goal in the FC Gronigen's 2-0 win over amateur side VV Annen.

Groningen's number nine headed home from a cross after Daleho Irandus had already given the side an early lead.

His previous game to that came for the Steelmen on May 28 when he scored the opener against Dundee United in a 3-2 win, to break a Steelmen and SPFL record by netting in 11 consecutive games.

Motherwell have gone some way to trying to replace last season's talisman by bringing in former Bolton and Walsall striker Conor Wilkinson on a two-year deal.
