BRUSSELS : Royal Antwerp defender Toby Alderweireld's affection for his home city is such that he has a tattoo of its gothic cathedral inked inside his right forearm but after his exploits on Sunday it is the fans who will forever hold him in their hearts.
Antwerp were out of the reckoning until near the end of their game when Alderweireld, who pushed forward in a desperate ploy, thrashed home a powerful strike that saw Antwerp draw 2-2 at Genk and snatch the title away from them. Alderweireld left Antwerp as a 15-year-old to join Ajax Amsterdam’s academy, bursting into the first team as a teenager and winning three Dutch league titles.
