PSV and Twente win
PSV Eindhoven remain a point clear in the Eredivisie as they won along with second placed FC Twente on Sunday.
But the gap with third-placed Ajax has been extended after the Amsterdam giants suffered defeat at Utrecht.
PSV made no mistake from their match as
VVV Venlo as they claimed a 3-0 win.
Wilfred Bouma opened the scoring just 14 minutes in before Jeremain Lens doubled their advantage on the stroke of half-time.
Fred Rutten's men wrapped up the win just a minute into the second-half with Atiba Hutchinson scoring.

Twente kept to within a point but they had to come from behind to seal a 2-1 win at fourth-placed
Groningen.
Slovenian star Tim Matavz put the home side ahead just after the half-hour, but Marc Janko levelled before half-time for Twente.
Janko then put his side ahead on 81-minutes. The Austrian should have completed his treble just moments later, but he failed to convert from the penalty spot.
Ajax lost pace with the top-two as they went down 3-0 at Utrecht, who climb into seventh.
Frenchman Edouard Duplan was the hero for the home side as he fired a quick-fire brace in the first-half, before Ismo Vorstermans sealed the win late on.
Roda in fifth closed to within two points of Groningen after their 3-0 win over lowly
Excelsior.
First-half goals from Jimmy Hempte and Pa Modou Kah set them on their way before Morten Skoubo added a third six minutes from time.
