Luuk de Jong opens his FC Barcelona account

The Dutch striker finds the net for the first time as a blaugrana in the league game against Levante

Their is a new name on the list of players who have scored in an FC Barcelona shirt: the Netherlands striker Luuk de Jong opened his Barça account with a goal on Sunday against Levante at Camp Nou. 

The striker came in the 14th minute of the game and doubled Barça's lead after his countryman Memphis had given the blaugranes the lead after 6 minutes. 

De Jong latched on to a Sergiño Dest pass to beat Levante keeper Aitor Fernández low to his right. The goal ended a run of more than six months without scoring for the Dutchman who had last found the net as a Sevilla player against Elche back in March of this year. 

It was fourth for De Jong in a Barça shirt since his move from Sevilla in the summer and after trying without success against Bayern, Granada and Cádiz the tall striker finally gained his reward against Levante.
