Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt scored a hat-trick as Feyenoord clinched their first Dutch title since 1999 with a 3-1 win over Heracles Almelo on Sunday.

The 36-year-old rolled back the years with a vintage display and netted the opening goal after just 38 seconds.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team needed to claim victory to secure the Eredivisie title and they did so in style.

Liverpool's former No.18 netted again after 12 minutes and sealed his treble from the penalty spot six minutes from time.

Former Reds goalkeeper Brad Jones also started the game for Feyenoord as they took the title by just one point from rivals Ajax.

Everybody at Liverpool FC sends their congratulations to Dirk and Brad.
