The 21-year-old American made his first season start and thanked his boss for the decision with two goals in 15 minutes.

Pepi first leapt highest as his header thumped past goalkeeper Thomas Didillon-Hödl and then registered a brace with a low drive from near the penalty spot.

He now has four goals in nine appearances across all competitions this season. His contribution helped PSV stay perfect, with seven wins from seven at the top of the Eredivisie table.

Perhaps that figure could rise if he continues to earn starting nods?

Hopefully Mauricio Pochettino is watching.
