Ajax extended their lead at the top of the Eredivisie table after inflicting a first home defeat of the season on Heracles with a 2-0 win at the Polman Stadion.
Heracles, third overnight, had won all four previous home games but found themselves two down inside 22 minutes and never recovered.

Utrecht were held to a 1-1 home draw by mid-table rivals Roda JC for whom Tomi Juric levelled nine minutes before the break after Sebastien Haller had opened the scoring in the 11th minute
