Gent consolidated third place in the Belgian First Division with a 4-1 victory over Standard Liege on Sunday.
The hosts at Jules Ottenstadion went ahead in the ninth minute, when Ivorian Yaya Soumahoro found the back of the net.
But Liege hit back seven minutes later through Senegalese striker Mbaye Leye.
From there, Yassine El Ghanassy and Bernd Thijs scored to put Gent 3-1 up at the break, before a Kanu own-goal handed the home side their fourth late on.
