Eredivisie round-up: Ajax and Feyenoord maintain perfect starts
Monday 24 August 2015 08:37, UK
Ajax and Feyenoord remain the only teams with 100 per cent records in the Eredivisie this season, with both picking up a third successive win on Sunday.
Frank de Boer's Ajax sit atop the table on goal difference following a 2-0 victory at NEC Nijmegen.
In what was ideal preparation for their upcoming Europa League play-off against Czech side Jablonec, Arkadiusz Milik fired the Amsterdam side in front after 49 minutes before a Rens van Eijden own goal made sure of the points three minutes from time.
Ajax are yet to concede in the Dutch top flight this campaign and that gives them the edge over Feyenoord, who were also 2-0 winners at home to Vitesse.
The Rotterdam club left it late at De Kuip, with a Dirk Kuyt penalty eventually giving them a 78th-minute lead. Bilal Basacikoglu then found the target two minutes later to make sure of the points.
PEC Zwolle are also unbeaten this campaign and lie third following a 2-1 win over FC Twente.
Lars Veldwijk fired Zwolle in front from the penalty spot after 27 minutes but that lead was cancelled out by Hakim Ziyech at the start of the second half. However, Ben Rienstra's 64th-minute strike proved decisive as the home side enjoyed their second win in three matches.
ADO Den Haag needed a last-gasp goal from Mike Havenaar to secure a 1-1 draw at home to Utrecht, who led through Sebastien Haller's spot-kick on the half-hour mark.
AZ Alkmaar and Willem II played out a goalless draw which leaves both clubs still searching for their first wins.
