It was an interesting week in terms of the title race, as league leaders PSV moved four points clear, after champions Ajax slipped up at Twente. Meanwhile, Feyenoord and Vitesse continued their recent revivals with crucial wins after their poor starts to the season, on a weekend where 30 goals were scored in total.

PSV 3-0 AZ Alkmaar

Phillip Cocu's PSV brushed off AZ with ease, courtesy of Luciano Narsingh and an Adam Maher brace, to open the gap at the top to four points. A cool finish from Narsingh and two easy strikers from Maher ensured that the pressure remained on the remaining champions Ajax.

PSV's assistant manager Ernest Faber spoke to the club's official website after the game. "I want to begin by giving praise to the players," explained Faber. "It [the future] looks good. Everyone, including the newcomers, are picking up more and more on how we want to play. It is important that we hold this. This is a nice start to a hopefully wonderful series [of results]."

The result moves AZ Alkmaar down to 9th.

FC Twente 1-1 Ajax

Ajax were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw with fellow title challengers Twente to fall four points behind league leaders PSV. Twente opened the scoring with a solo effort by Mexican midfielder Jesus Corona. Ajax eventually found a reply through Icelandic striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson with 20 minutes to go. Lasse Schone had several opportunities to win it for the visitors, including a 35-yard costless-kick that came back off the crossbar, but it wasn't to be and Twente held on for the point.

Ajax manager Frank de Boer was insisted that his side deserved more from the game. "I thought we were better than Twente, let that be clear," said De Boer after the draw "If you look at the whole game we had the upper hand. It is unfortunate that we can not push through after the 1-1 because you want the three points."

While Ajax stay in 2nd, Twente move down to 5th, after the Cambuur draw.

Willem II 1-4 Vitesse Arnhem

Vitesse continued their costless-scoring vein of form with a crushing win over Eredivisie new-boys Willem II. Peter Bosz's side have scored an astonishing 20 goals in their last five games and their absymal start to the season has been completely forgotten about.

A brace from Abiola Dauda, plus goals from Davy Propper and on-loan Chelsea midfielder Bertrand Traore cancelled out a consolation goal from ex-Chelsea player Ben Sahar to bring the three points back to Arnhem.

Peter Bosz couldn't have been happier with his side's effort, telling the club's official website, "This is the best win of the season. We have beaten a good team and have not only done so in a football way, the boys also had to work very hard. I am a happy coach."

Vitesse continue to rise up the table to 7th-place, just two points from a European spot now. Willem II slip to 12th.

Feyenoord 2-1 Heracles Almelo

A double from Elvis Manu saw off Heracles, but Feyenoord made hard work of the win. The exciting youngster scored two in the first 20 minutes, one a cool finish from a Luke Wilkshere pass and the other a capitalisation on a defensive lapse.

Heracles pulled one back with a penalty in the second half, courtesy of Jeroen Veldmate, and had many chances to equalise, but Feyenoord just pulled through to grab a crucial three points. The win lifts Feyenoord into 8th, level on points with Vitesse, while an unlucky Heracles stay rock-bottom.
