Caltex Socceroo defender scores in Chinese Super League

Caltex Socceroos defender Trent Sainsbury got on the scoresheet in China, while Brad Jones helped Feyenoord to the top of the Eredivisie, in the overnight Aussies abroad wrap.

Sainsbury scored the opener in Jiangsu Suning's 2-1 win at Changchun Yatai in the Chinese Super League (CSL), while Jones continued his perfect start at Feyenoord, notching a second consecutive clean sheet in a 2-0 win over FC Twente.

Feyenoord haven't conceded in the opening two weeks of the Eredivisie campaign and moved to the top of the table on Sunday ahead of three other clubs on goal difference.

In the CSL, Jiangsu sit second - eight points behind leaders Guangzhou Evergrande.

In Changchun, Sainsbury got on the end of Ji Xiang's flicked header from Alex Teixeira's 28th-minute corner to score at the back post, setting up Jiangsu's win.
