Heracles have thrashed Cambuur 6-1 away from home in the Eredivise on Saturday night.
Star player Oussama Tannane got the visitors off to a flying start by blasting the ball into the back of the net from 20 yards, before doubling their lead 14 minutes later from the penalty spot.
Tannane completed his hat-trick just before the half-hour mark with another fine finish, before Thomas Bruns set him up to smash the ball into the top corner after he waltzed past two players.
The 21-year-old supplied Wurt Weghurst with a low ball across goal and he tapped it in to make it 5-0, before the hosts scored a late consolation through Bartholomew Ogbeche.
Bruns scored a minute later to add icing on the cake for the away side, who move to the top of the table.
