Danko Lazovic struck the winning goal in the 48th minute to keep PSV at the top with 72 points three ahead of Ajax Amsterdam who crush Heracles Almelo 5-1.

Ajax’s prolific striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar finished on top of the scorers’ chart with 33 goals.

In a rehearsal for next Sunday’s Cup final, Feyenoord, where plays Egyptian keeper Sherif Ekrami, beat Roda Kerkrade 3-0 to finish sixth of the table with 60 points.

Ekrami has been ruled out of the game because of a knee injury.

The result leaves them out of the play offs for next season’s the Champions League. However they will play another mini-tournament with Gronigen, FC Utrecht and NEC for two UEFA Cup spots.
