Sehrou Guirassy was on target once again as VfB Stuttgart recorded a 3-0 away win at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Enzo Millot put the Reds in front in the 16th minute before Guirassy doubled the lead in added time of the first half after being assisted by strike partner Deniz Undav.
It was the Guinea international’s 22nd league goal of the season which saw him level with Fritz Walter’s tally during the 1991-92 season. He is also three goals away from surpassing Mario Gomez’s tally of 24 goals during the 2008-09 season which is the most league goals scored by a Stuttgart player in a season.
