d**k Advocaat’s side secured a convincing victory over the Friesland-based club to snatch the top spot on the table from FC Twente Enschede, who dropped two crucial points against Vitesse Arnhem following the goalless stalemate.
PSV Eindhoven cruised to a comfortable 5-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 Arnhem earlier on Sunday gifted the Eindhoven giants the top spot
on the league table.
In spite of commencing proceedings brightly at home, the Boeren conceded a goal within the opening six minutes of action following some sloppy defending at the back by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Atiba-Hutchinson-c6889.
A Christian Kum long throw from the right was completely misjudged by the Canadian defender that gifted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 de Ridder a simple chance to head home with ease.
After going 1-0 down early in the game, the Eindhoven giants put immense pressure on the visiting side’s defence in search of an equaliser. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775, who was back in the starting line-up after missing out the last couple of games due to injury, tried
his luck from the edge of the box, but his effort was deflected away for a corner.
In the 20th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brian-Vandenbussche-c8073.
Nonetheless, PSV’s consistent pressing rewarded them in the 22nd minute, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574 Narsingh netted the equaliser. Matavz’s lofted pass found the young winger inside the box, who controlled the ball impressively on his chest and neatly chipped
over Vandenbussche to level the score-line.
Moments later, Strootman could have given his side a lead, but his headed effort went over the crossbar for a goal-kick. The home side continued to dominate proceedings, but they failed to convert their dominance into goalscoring opportunities until the
half-time break.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Georginio-Wijnaldum-c14629 played in a neat pass to Mertens, who raced towards the penalty area down the left side of the pitch
before cutting in and curling in a brilliant show that found the top right corner of the net.
Ten minutes later, Wijnaldum doubled his side’s advantage. Strootman sent in a pin-point cross for the highly-talented midfielder, who made no mistake in heading home.
Matavz made it 4-1 in the 83rd minute, while the Slovenian ace netted his second of the evening only three minutes later to complete his side’s resounding 5-1 victory over Marco van Basten’s men.
The score-line depicts that the game was completely dominated by the Eindhoven giants. However, it was PSV’s impressive and attacking style of play that rewarded them with a brilliant win.
Apart from one defensive error at the back from Hutchinson, which allowed Heerenveen to score a goal, the hosts were hardly seen facing any problem.
All in all, it was an extraordinary performance put in by d**k Advocaat’s men in front of their home crowd to keep their 100 percent winning record at Philips Stadion intact in style.
