Feyenoord won their eighth Eredivisie game in a row as they beat FC Groningen 2-0 on Saturday to extend their lead at the top to eight points.

Jens Toornstra scored a goal in each half, in a game which saw Groningen's Juninho Bacuna sent off with 15 minutes remaining after a bad challenge on Terence Kongolo.

Go Ahead Eagles secured their second league win in a row to take them off the bottom of the table as they beat ADO Den Haag 3-1.

Sam Hendriks opened the scoring on 38 minutes and added his second of the game just before the hour mark.

Ernestas Setkus was sent off for the visitors but they got a goal back through a penalty from Abdenasser El Khayati.

The goal came too late, however, with the hosts making it three through Marcel Ritzmaier on the stroke of full-time.

Heracles Almelo came from two goals behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Roda JC.
