The Dutchman, who took his league tally to 16 goals, 14 of which since the start of the year, tapped in twice at the far post after Timm Klose's header gave the visitors the lead as they ended a three-game league run without a win.

The Wolves are second on 65 points, two ahead of Borussia Moenchengladbach, and seven ahead of fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich, who have already secured the title, lost 1-0 to Augsburg on Saturday for their fourth defeat in a row in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola's team face Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final second leg next week.
