[AMERICANS ABROAD] Sacha Kljestan's Anderlecht headed in the winter break into Belgium with an eight-point lead thanks to a 4-1 win over visiting Lierse for its 10th victory in a row in the Jupiler League.

Kljestan was again in the starting lineup and went all 90 minutes. He helped set up the second goal scored by Milan Jovanovic.

Kljestan's role in the Anderlecht midfield could increase in January as the Belgian champions are reportedly set to sell Argentine playmaker Lucas Biglia, who has attracted the interest of some top-flight English Premier League clubs.
