LOAN WATCH: Chelsea starlet Perica nets as NAC Breda demolish Go Ahead Eagles

Chelsea's promising young forward Stipe Perica scored late as NAC Breda hammered Go Ahead Eagles at Fujifilm Stadium in the Dutch Eredivisie on the weekend.

After Rydell Poepon scored Breda's fourth just before the stroke of half-time, the match was all but over, however there was still time for Perica to shine when the 18-year Croatian replaced Poepon on the 68-minute mark.

With the game entering into its final few minutes, Perica was played through one on one by Jeffrey Sarpong and the striker made no mistake as he finished the ball off the post to round up the resounding win.

The victory saw Breda move up to ninth position on the Eredivisie table, just four points off leaders FC Twente, and gave Perica his third league goal of the campaign.
