Gyökeres scored 27, 41 (from the penalty spot) and 66 to top the scorers’ list with six goals, with Lucas Afríco scoring his fourth with 69 and Edwards closing the scoring at 81, in a game in which the Green and Whites secured their third consecutive victory over a Farense side who had yet to score in the league.
