Jorrit Hendrix helped to cement a commanding victory as PSV Eindhoven hit NAC Breda for four in the Eredivisie.

The midfielder struck three minutes from time to complete a 4-1 away win, which came courtesy of a powerful second-half display.

Striker Steven Bergwijn set the ball rolling with just 17 minutes gone, but Thierry Ambrose levelled from the penalty spot before the break.

Skipper Marco van Ginkel's header on the hour restored the lead before Hirving Lozano and Hendrix made sure.

Jean-Paul Boetius' first-half goal was enough to maintain reigning champions Feyenoord's perfect start to the season as they ran out 1-0 winners at Excelsior.

The 23-year frontman struck after just 18 minutes to ensure they emerged with three more points to go with those they took from FC Twente last Sunday.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar set Ajax on their way to a first Eredivisie victory of the season as they bounced back from last weekend's defeat at Heracles with a 3-1 win over Groningen.

Huntelaar opened the scoring with 38 minutes gone and midfielder Hakim Ziyech doubled the advantage three minutes after half-time with his 50th league strike.

Groningen gave themselves hope when Oussama Idrissi reduced the deficit with 17 minutes remaining, but Lasse Schone eased his team across the finishing line with a third.

FC Utrecht flew out of the blocks to condemn Willem II to a 2-0 defeat before they had even got their second wind.

Goals from Zakaria Labyad and Cyriel Dessers inside the opening seven minutes put Utrecht on track for a second successive victory.

The action came early too at the Sparta Stadion as Sparta Rotterdam came from behind to claim a draw against Zwolle.

Moroccan striker Youness Mokhtar put the visitors ahead with just 13 minutes played, but his effort was cancelled out within 10 minutes as Robert Muhren snatched a point for the home side.

Vitesse Arnhem, one of five sides to have won both games to date, currently sit on top of the table by virtue of goals scored.
