Nikola Stulic makes it five goals in four games as Charleroi heap more misery on Westerlo | OneFootball

Nikola Stulic is one of the in form strikers in the Belgian Pro League at the moment. The 23-year-old Serbian striker scored a brace as Charleroi beat struggling Westerlo 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. Stulic has now scored an impressive five goals in just four games as he closes in on double figures for the season. Charleroi have been in search of a striker for two seasons now and Stulic seems to have adjusted to Belgian football after a year and a bit with the club. So far this season he has nine goals in 14 Pro Leauge games.

For Westerlo, this loss could be a costly one. The side remain level on points with Cercle Brugge who occupy 13th spot. Finishing there would put the side in the relegation play-offs. Last season Charleroi finished in that position but comfortably came through the play-offs to survive. Westerlo do face two other sides in and around them to end the season. They travel to OH Leuven next weekend before visiting Beerschot on the final day of the season. In between those two games they face Anderlecht.
