A comfortable 2-0 lead wasn’t enough for PSV Eindhoven to secure three points against newly promoted VVV. Ajax and Feyenoord did win their matches on Sunday.

The first half never really had PSV’s defense threatened. The opening goal came from Nordin Amrabat in the 41st minute and Ole Toivonen doubled the advantage shortly before the break.

But VVV improved their performance in the second half. Achmed Ahahaoui pulled one back with a powerful shot in the 53rd minute, and Keisuke Honda volleyed home for the equaliser six minutes later.

PSV thought to have scored the winner when Toivonen netted from a corner in the 82nd minute, but a mistake from defender Dirk Marcellis allowed Ruben Schaken to make it 3-3 in the 85th.

Ajax Amsterdam’s new manager Martin Jol saw his side earn a rather simple 0-2 win at FC Groningen. Miralem Sulejmani opened the score on 41 minutes and Dennis Rommedahl added a second in the 72nd.

Feyenoord didn’t look quite as convincing against NEC, but did collect three points with a 2-0 win. The goals came from Jon Dahl Tomasson in the 10th minute and Leroy Fer (penalty) in the 76th.
