Feyenoord extended their winning streak to five Eredivisie matches after four second-half goals inspired them to a 4-1 victory over Emmen.

After the first half ended goalless, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's visitors broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute through Jan-Arie Van Der Heijden before Steven Berghuis doubled their lead with 20 minutes left to play.

Emmen reduced the deficit one minute later through Anco Jansen.

But 17-year-old Orkun Kokcu restored third-place Feyenoord's two-goal advantage on his league debut before a late Tonny Vilhena penalty wrapped up the points.

Three goals in the opening 20 minutes handed Utrecht a 3-1 victory over Heracles, which lifted the hosts up to fourth in the table at their opponents' expense.

Simon Gustafson set the ball rolling with a fourth-minute penalty in Sunday's early kick-off, before two goals in as many minutes from Gyrano Kerk and Urby Emanuelson put Utrecht 3-0 up.

Heracles netted a late consolation through Maximilian Rossmann 15 minutes before the end.
