Ajax drop points, PSV take out FC Twente in Dutch league

The Hague (Netherlands), Jan 29 (IANS) Ajax dropped points by playing out a 0-0 draw at FC Utrecht in a failed attempt to keep the gap with Dutch Eredivisie leader PSV on five points.

Under coach Erik ten Hag, who came over from opponent FC Utrecht at the end of December, Ajax was not able to create clear chances in Utrecht on Sunday, reports Xinhua news agency.

Only Justin Kluivert and David Neres spelt some danger, but it was not enough to prevent a draw.

League leader PSV failed to impress on Saturday as well, but the Eindhoven-based team did win at FC Twente 2-0. Hirving Lozano headed PSV in front and in the final minute Santiago Arias produced the second goal. Also on Saturday PEC Zwolle lost 2-1 at home to Vitesse.

Reigning champions Feyenoord beat ADO Den Haag 3-1 on Sunday thanks to goals by Tonny Vilhena, Steven Berghuis and Jens Toornstra.

Lex Immers scored for ADO. Just like last Wednesday against FC Utrecht (1-1), when Robin van Persie returned in the Eredivisie after almost 14 years, he came on as a substitute.
