PSV beat Excelsior to win their first game back and equal record from 1988
PSV has started the new year convincingly. The league leader defeated Excelsior 3-1 in Eindhoven on Saturday. With seventeen consecutive victories, PSV equaled the record from the 1987/1988 season, when the Eindhoven team led by Guus Hiddink also won the first seventeen league matches. The current PSV can break the record next Sunday if they win against FC Utrecht.
