Japan ace Kiyotake voted Bundesliga player of the week

FC Nurnberg's Hiroshi Kiyotake has been voted the Bundesliga's Best Player of Matchday 2.

The 23-year old Japanese midfielder produced a stunning free-kick in the final minute of regular time as Nurnberg forced a 2-2 draw with Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

Kiyotake received 80% of the vote on the Bundesliga's official website, beating off competition from Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus (9%), Bayern Munich's Mario Mandzukic (5%), Wolfsburg recruit Gustavo Luiz (4%), and Bayer Leverkusen keeper Bernd Leno and Borussia Monchengladbach striker Max Kruse (both 1%).
