Goals from Djibril Dianessy, Finn Stokkers, Christopher Braun and Emrah Bassan for Fortuna Sittard ensured Giovanni Hiwat’s strike for Helmond Sport accounted for nothing in the encounter.

The win sees Fortuna Sittard move to the 15th position, 24 points above relegation zone with five games left to play.

And Oliseh who was delighted to have recorded his sixth win (five draws and three defeats) in 14 games in charge of the team believes it’s time to celebrate with the club fans.

“Delighted at our 4-1 victory. Objectives achieved in style. It’s time to celebrate with d fans!” Oliseh tweeted on yesterday.
