: Evan Ferguson celebrates with team mates Neil El Aynaoui after scoring
Evan Ferguson broke his Roma club duck and Troy Parrott backed up his Budapest heroics with both Ireland strikers finding the net on Sunday.
Ferguson was 13 months without a club goal before he collected a clever ball inside the box, took one touch and calmly slotted into the corner of the net to put Roma 2-0 up against Cremonese.
Over in Holland, Parrott was on target yet again despite his side, AZ Alkmaar, going down 3-1 to SC Heerenveen.

It was a sublime finish from Ireland’s hat-trick hero from Hungary as he gathered the ball on the edge of the box and found the bottom corner.
Roma went provisionally top of the Serie A standings with their 3-1 win at Cremonese.
In an action-packed first half which included a Roma goal ruled out for offside and a Cremonese penalty overturned, the visitors took the lead through Matias Soule’s shot from the edge of the area in the 17th minute.
Ferguson was introduced on the hour mark, and four minutes later the 21-year-old netted his first goal for Roma. Wesley Franca wrapped up the win after another five minutes, with Francesco Folino heading in a stoppage-time consolation goal for the hosts.
