A pair of former Pachuca teammates are having themselves a ball in the Netherlands right now.
Chucky Lozano had a breakout season with PSV Eindhoven a year ago, scoring 17 goals in the Eredivisie. He welcomed compatriot Érick Gutiérrez to the team in August and now the two El Tri players are becoming terrifyingly prolific.
Against FC Emmen on Saturday, the Chucky and Guti were at it again, scoring back-to-back goals for the third time this season.

PSV improved to nine wins and nine with a plus-33 goal differential with a 6-0 win. The final two goals came from Mexico internationals Gutiérrez and Lozano.
Gutiérrez, a midfielder, scored is third goal of the season in the 78th minute to make it 5-0, mopping up a goal-mouth scramble with a powerful finish.
Every time Gutiérrez has scored this season, Lozano has scored a few minutes later.
In Gutiérrez’s debut on Sept. 15, the midfielder scored moments after coming onto the pitch and set up Lozano with a goal five minutes later. Gutiérrez’s second goal came on Oct. 6 in the 87th minute only to see Lozano score in the 91st minute, Chucky’s second goal of the match.
So of course on Saturday when Gutiérrez scored, Lozano found the back of the net himself, though this time it took a full nine minutes for his reply.
Lozano now has eight goals in nine Eredivisie matches, tied for best in the league. PSV is so dominant right now, three of the top six goal scorers play for the Boeren.
Just imagine what PSV would be doing if Gutiérrez started matches alongside Chucky.
