PSV Eindhoven boss Fred Rutten pleased with the 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw – UEFA Europa League news
In the latest round of UEFA Europa League, PSV Eindhoven recorded an easy 3-0 triumph over Legia Warsaw at Polish Army Stadion on Wednesday, November 30.
The Eindhoven giants boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten, expressed happiness following his side’s impressive performance away from home against the Polish outfit. The 48-year-old tactician admitted that his troops dominated throughout the 90 minutes and deservingly emerged
victorious.
“This was a successful evening for us. If you can win 3-0, I think that's great. The first half was still a bit of a contest, but we killed it off in the second. Then it was easy for us”, Rutten said while talking to the media.
Both sides have already qualified for the last 32 and the match was only about the battle for the first place in group C.
The Boeren started the match brightly and put immense pressure on the home side’s back-line, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323 missing the target twice from the edge of the box in the opening 20 minutes.

The home side searched for the equaliser, but their efforts were far from pleasing and the Dutch side remained the dominant force in the remaining first-half action.
After the half-time break, PSV totally dominated and gave no chance whatsoever to the hosts. In the 59th minute, the home side goalkeeper, Kuciak, received his marching orders following his foul inside the box on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679
converted the resulting spot-kick with ease to double the lead.
