The top four sides all won, without conceding any in reply. There were 26 goals scored across the nine games.

PSV 1-0 ADO Den Haag

PSV maintained their four-point gap at the top of the table, with a goal from teen sensation Memphis Depay. Despite having a Jorrit Hendrix sent off for a foul on league top scorer Michiel Kramer, the hosts were surprisingly comfortable and never looked like losing.

PSV boss Phillip Cocu was pleased with how his side reacted after going down to 10 men early on, telling PSV's official website, "After the early [Jorrit] Hendrix red card,  the game plan changed completely . We responded well. Before the game we agreed what to do when we get down to ten men. [Luciano] Narsingh and Memphis [Depay] had some extra work to do."

Ajax 4-0 Dordrecht

Reigning champions Ajax kept the pressure on arch-rivals PSV with a thumping 4-0 win over Dordrecht. Two goals from Danish star Lasse Schone, as well as strikes from Joel Veltman and Lucas Andersen wrapped up the win after Josimar Lima was sent off for Dordrecht.

Frank de Boer was more than satisfied with the comfortable win, telling Ajax's official website, "I thought got a grip on the match and could always find our midfielder. We did not reward ourselves [however] because it was 1-0 at half-time, but after Dordrecht came down to ten men, the game was easy."

Feyenoord 2-0 PEC Zwolle

Feyenoord earnt their fifth win in a row, putting any distant memories of their dodgy start completely behind them. Zwolle fans will be left annoyed, as their side failed to put up any sort of fight whatsoever, as they sunk to 5th place. Goals from Sven van Beek and exciting young talent Jean-Paul Boetius sealed an easy win, while they could have had more, after missed chances from Tommy Vilhena, Jens Toornstra and Miquel Nelom respectively.

"After that [Van Beek] goal, it was all us," said Rutten, who was pleased with the way his team played in the second half. "The football was fun to look. We could even have scored more than we did, but the important thing is that the points are in. "
