Sparta remain without a win

De Graafschap moved up to fourth in the Eredivisie with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam. Second half goals from Lasse Schone, Berry Powel, Leon Hese and Dony De Groot handed Graafschap the points at the De Vijverberg. Sparta had kept their hosts at bay during an evenly contested first half, but after the interval Graafschap made the break through. Schone struck first on 67 minutes before former Millwall player Powel hit home 11 minutes later to double Graafschap's advantage. With seven minutes remaining Hese pounced to make sure of the points and then De Groot fired in on 87 minutes to ensure Sparta remain the only team in the league not to have won a game this season.
