The midfielder has five assists and three goals for Koln this season.
Former Hannover 96 midfielder Linton Maina netted his third Bundesliga goal of the season as his FC Koln side thrashed Augsburg 3-1 while Daniel Anyembe clocked 90 minutes for Viborg in the Danish Super League.
Linton Maina
The Kenyan midfielder was trusted with a start as FC Koln moved further away from the relegation zone following their 3-1 win over Augsburg in the German Bundesliga.
Koln posted a blistering start to the game as Ellyes Skhiri tapped home from close range after a pass across the face of goal from Julian Chabot.
Things went from good to better for Koln in the 16th minute when Eric Martel slotted home a quickly taken throw from Ghanaian midfielder Kingsley Schindler.
Augsburg however halved the deficit a minute before the half-hour mark when the ball fell to Ruben Vargas after a goalmouth melee where Koln failed to clear their lines.
Koln restored their two-goal cushion in the 59th minute when a perfectly weighted pass from Dejan Ljubicic found Maina unmarked in the far post for him to tap in.
