PSV enjoyed another easy night in the Eredivisie on Sunday at the AFAS Stadium in Alkmaar.

Luuk de Jong got a brace, with Ismael Saibari and Sergino Dest getting the other two goals.
AZ Alkmaar were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday after losing 2-0 to Legia Warsaw in Poland. AZ captain Bruno Martins Indi was sent off to compile the misery. AZ started the match with Dani de Wit in midfield. De Wit was on the bench last weekend against Almere City. There was also a surprise start for Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro in goal for the Alkmaarders. The 19-year-old replaced first-choice keeper Maty Ryan, who broke his cheekbone in training and will not feature for the rest of this year.

AZ still has a slim chance of progression in Europe after beating Zrinjski Mostar 1-0. If Legia Warsaw loses to Aston Villa later this evening, then the Alkmaarders will have something to play for when they travel to Poland on the 14th of December. AZ took the lead against Zrinjski Mostar after an hour played when Vangelis Pavlidis converted a penalty. The Greek was fouled in the penalty area by Mario Cuze.
Feyenoord is PSV's biggest challenger in the Eredivisie for the time being. The reigning champions won the home match against AZ (1-0), and with that, they climbed to second in the table with a seven-point gap to the dominant league leaders in Eindhoven.
