http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679’ first-half strike was enough for the Eindhoven giants to see off the Yellow Army and bag all three points on Dutch Eredivisie match day 16
PSV Eindhoven cruised to a comfortable 1-0 victory against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-c14136 Rutten, the Boeren head coach, expressed joy after his side managed to secure maximum points after 90 minutes of action. 
The Dutch mentor openly expressed his happiness with the three points but was far from pleased with the way his side managed to claim the win. 
“I am happy with the three points, but with the way we did it, I am not. But I admit that the entertainment level is not always so high”, Rutten said while talking to the media.
The Boeren boss then went on to admit that his side played better in the opening 45 minutes, but failed to dominate proceedings in front of their home crowd after the break.
“In the first-half, we played well and had a normal game. However, after the break, we enjoyed very less ball possession though we created many opportunities. All in all, I am happy to claim all three points”, Rutten concluded.
The Eindhoven giants started the first-half brightly and put immense pressure on NAC’s back-line with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stanislav-Manolev-c33925 testing the visitors goalkeeper.
Despite putting consistent pressure, the breakthrough came in the 37th minute through Dries Mertens. The Belgian ace ran into the area from the left flank before powering his shot into the back of the net.
After the half-time interval, NAC started to show resistance and played good football. In the 55th minute, NAC had their first real opportunity at the goal. However, Roly Bonevacia’s long-range effort failed to trouble the Boeren goalkeeper, Andreas
Isaksson.
Moments later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775 could have doubled the lead but NAC goalkeeper elle ten Rouwelaar tipped his shot over.
When the referee blew the final whistle to end proceedings at Philips Stadion, the score-line read 1-0 in favour of PSV.
All three points ensured that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar, who won against De Graafschap in their respective league encounter, by four points.
