PSV pulls clear in Eredivisie

PSV Eindhoven took a significant step towards defending its Eredivisie crown on Wednesday night with a 2-0 victory over closest challenger Ajax in Amsterdam.

The win, coupled with a 2-2 draw between title rivals Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar, means PSV is now eight points clear at the summit.

Sef Vergoossen's men went ahead through Balazs Dzsudzsak four minutes before half-time and made sure of the points when Otman Bakkal netted with 17 minutes to go.

A miserable night for Ajax was compounded in the final minute when former Holland international Edgar Davids was sent off.

Feyenoord twice came from behind to earn a share of the points with AZ, with Giovanni Van Bronckhorst and Luiz Andre Bahia cancelling out goals from Graziano Pelle and Mounir El Hamdaoui.
