Robin Van Persie was on target as Feyenoord secured a 4-1 win against VVV Venlo to move seven points behind PSV in the Eredivisie.

The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker claimed his team's second goal during a one-sided encounter.

Tonny Vilhena swept Feyenoord into a 28th-minute lead before Van Persie struck five minutes later to leave VVV with a mountain to climb in the second half.

Sam Larsson then put the issue beyond doubt 10 minutes after the restart, and although Tino Susic cut the deficit to 3-1, a second Larsson goal completed the scoring.
