Eredivise dump.
Another weekend gone and the top is closer than ever as a few surprises once again hit the top of the league.
Starting in the bottom, Excelsior hit Roda JC to move out of the bottom infront of The Graafschap who still has a game in hand against FC Twente (85% chance that is a loss for Graafschap) Nothing else really mattered Friday & Saturday.
Ajax opened up Sunday with a poor performance although ending up with a 0-2 win against 10 man ADO (a questionable red card but the ref was in the best position i have ever seen a ref in on the field) Jody Lukoki scored the first after being subbed on at half time and Vertonghen easily made it 2 on a good run from the back.
After that match was on in the top with PSV - Heerenveen and FC Twente - Feyenoord. PSV hit Heerenveen with 5-1, the same result they got in 2 of their losses last year one of those against PSV in the reverse fixture. There was some nice goals in that match including 2 by Mertens, PSV simply outplayed them something they haven't been able to show in a few weeks. The teams meet again during the week in the Cup.
FC Twente faced off with Feyenoord at home which resulted in 0-2 for Feyenoord who played it as they deserved after being cheated of a clear penalty for Guidetti.
Last of the day a dissapointing performance from AZ resulted in 0-0 with NAC Breda who last weekend beat FC Twente with 3-1.
This leaves the league as close as it has been in weeks and the closest top group in Europe.
1. AZ - 53
2. Ajax - 52
3. PSV - 51
4. FC Twente - 48 (1 game in hand)
5. Feyenoord - 48
6. Sc Heerenveen - 48
Ajax face PSV on Sunday in what could make or break the title race as it is although there is 7 rounds left, it is not wrong to expect both teams to take 3 points in all their matches against the teams not participating in the top. There are a few matches between the top teams left to mix it up in the top.
Also forgot to maybe mention: An ADO Den Haag section person threw a bottle of Jaegermeister at Jody Lukoki and hit him, several people also threw many lighters which made the ref stop the game as soon as it went into the +2 he had put on even though the last 2 minutes were used between the players arguing.
Those ado people
