PSV Eindhoven's title charge shows no sign of slowing down after they went nine points clear at the top of the Eredivisie with a 5-0 rout of FC Twente at De Grolsch Veste.

Luuk de Jong opened the scoring after half an hour and Jeffrey Bruma added another five minutes later, with Georginio Wijnaldum netting the visitors' third on the stroke of half-time.

Memphis Depay bagged a brace with strikes in the 76th and 79th minutes to add gloss to the scoreline and take PSV 11 points clear of nearest challengers Ajax, who play Utrecht on Sunday.

Bryan Linssen's goal three minutes from time helped Heracles move out of the relegation play-off places after a 3-2 victory at bottom side FC Dordrecht.

Linssen opened the scoring in the ninth minute but Everon Pisas levelled matters 10 minutes later before Joris van Overeem gave the hosts the lead midway through the first half.

But Wouter Weghorst equalised in the 72nd minute before Linssen bookended the scoring to seal what could be a precious three points for Heracles.

Sergio Padt's 80th-minute own goal helped Vitesse claim a 1-1 draw at home to FC Groningen, who had opened the scoring through Rasmus Lindgren after a quarter of an hour.

Bram Van Polen's 76th-minute strike gave PEC Zwolle a 1-0 win over Willem II, while Heerenveen were held to a 0-0 draw by NAC.
