THE HAGUE, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord booked comfortable wins in the 15th match round of the Dutch Eredivisie.

After their 2-1 win against league leaders PSV last Sunday and a 4-1 win over VVV-Venlo on Thursday Feyenoord continued their good run with a 4-1 victory at FC Emmen on Sunday. Debutant Orkun Kokcu, Jan-Arie van der Heijden, Steven Berghuis and Tonny Vilhena (penalty) sealed the win in the second half. Anco Jansen scored for Emmen.

On Friday, PSV recovered from their loss at Feyenoord with a 6-0 win over Excelsior. Luuk de Jong produced a brace, Steven Bergwijn and Donyell Malen also found the net and the visitors scored two own goals. It was PSV's 14th win in 15 matches.

Four days before their Champions League tie with Bayern Munich, Ajax beat PEC Zwolle 4-1 in Zwolle on Saturday, but lost Donny van de Beek and Andre Onana through injuries. Lasse Schone, who also scored an own goal, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Dusan Tadic and Frenkie de Jong scored for Ajax. The latter scored with an impressive solo effort, one day after Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf wrote that he accepted an offer to join French side Paris Saint-Germain next season for a transfer fee of 75 million euros.

PSV kept the lead in the Eredivisie with 42 points from 16 matches, followed by Ajax with 40 points and Feyenoord with 35 points. Next weekend the Eredivisie will conclude the first half of the season.
