Another Interesting Day in Holland

The most fun league in the world, to watch right now, if you know football, just has to be the Dutch Eredivisie.
So many teams vying for the title, and so many mess-ups between all of them.

Today, the leaders, Alkmaar, as well as seemingly the in-form team, Twente, both stumbled.

AZ Alkmaar could only manage a 0-0 draw at home, against lowly NAC Breda (who defeated PSV just the previous matchday, though), while Twente lost at home to Feyenoord Rotterdam.
Speaking of Feyenoord, they've just joined Heerenveen in the group of hopefuls. (I call them "hopefuls"because they're three points behind the lowest of the top three.)

Twente Enschede is on 48, too, but they have a game in hand.

Ajax is the only team that at the moment seems to be obtaining just victories. The Hague is not always an easy place to go and face the local team, but Ajax beat Den Haag 2-0 there in a convincing manner.
Because of Alkmaar's draw, Ajax is now only one point behind top spot.

Another Loss for PSV

PSV Eindhoven has now lost four in a row. (This includes the loss at Valencia, in the Europa League.)

And they started brightly at Breda. After Wijnaldum's goal, in minute 5, the hosts did not allow PSV to score any more, though.
(NAC Breda always plays well against the Eindhoven team... It seems to be their gift.)

Kolk, twice (13 and 55), and Lurling (17) ensured that Breda beat PSV yet again, and also that they put some distance between themselves and the occupant of the sixteenth spot, VV Venlo.

And PSV is now no longer one of the top three.
