Feyenoord Rotterdam failed to stay close to the top in the Dutch Eredivisie, losing the city derby with Sparta 2-1 on Sunday.

It was an eventful match at Sparta stadium, where Feyenoord initially took the lead with a goal from Andre Bahia in the 37th minute.

The guests then went a man down as Sekou Cisse conceded a red card in the 51st minute, and Sparta’s Rydell Poepon leveled the score a few minutes later.

Danish striker Jon Dahl Tomasson then followed Cisse to the dressing room with a red card in minute 59, but Sparta had a player sent off as well as Poepon picked up a second booking ten minutes later.

Kevin Strootman scored the winning goal of the match at six minutes from the end.

FC Utrecht were held to a goalless draw at FC Groningen, and remain in fifth place, one point behind Feyenoord.
