Script:

It was a clash of two fierce rivals at the Amsterdam Arena. Hosts Ajax looking to reestablish their three-point lead at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie. PSV Eindhoven out to make gains on a second consecutive league title.

And not the dream start for Ajax, Gaston Pereiro firing this over Jasper Cillessen with just seven minutes on the clock.

But, Frank de Boer's side struck back. Nifty footwork from Amin Younes to produce this curler which neatly found its target.

The home side went close in the 70th minute, but Viktor Fischer could only find the post with this long-range shot.

And then, another bit of precision from Pereiro, completing his brace and earning PSV the victory.

The 2-1 win takes Phillip Cocu's side within two points of Ajax. The league leaders level on points with Feyenoord but, for now, able to cling on to top spot.
