Ajax closed the gap on their Eredivisie title rivals PSV Eindhoven with an impressive victory over the league leaders on Sunday.
Erik Ten Hag's side secured a 3-1 win to move within two points of PSV at the summit, making light work of Noussair Mazraoui's 58th-minute dismissal.
A Daniel Schwaab own goal put Ajax in front - but the game seemed to have swung in favour of the visitors as Luuk De Jong levelled moments after Mazraoui saw a yellow card upgraded to red via the video assistant referee.
But Ajax still had enough to seal the three points, Dusan Tadic scoring from the spot after a VAR-assisted penalty was awarded following a foul on David Neres, who wrapped up the win with a last-minute effort.
FC Utrecht maintained their push for Europa League qualification as they beat Feyenoord 3-2 in an entertaining clash.
A last-gasp Timo Letschert goal secured the points for Utrecht, who had earlier seen a two-goal lead evaporate.
Urby Emanuelson and Sander Van De Streek had put the hosts on course what appeared to be a routine win, only for Sam Larsson and Robin Van Persie to level for the visitors before Letschert's late heroics.
Emmen remain in the relegation zone after slipping to a 3-0 defeat at PEC Zwolle.
Vito Van Crooy gave the hosts a fourth-minute lead, with Lennart Thy then wrapping up the win with a brace.
Bottom club NAC Breda came from behind to secure a point at home to VVV Venlo.
Peniel Mlapa put VVV ahead but Greg Leigh levelled for Breda, who survived a late red card to Mounir El Alluchi to move within seven points of Emmen as they fight for survival.
