PSV Eindhoven 2-1 Sparta Rotterdam
Despite playing most of the second half with ten men, PSV Eindhoven maintained a perfect start to their league campaign.
Tobias Lauritsen finished off an excellent attack to put Sparta into a tenth minute lead but PSV would eventually equalise through Olivier Boscagli. Luuk de Jong’s excellent flicked finish then put them in front before the break.
Early in the second half, the hosts were reduced to ten when Matteo Dams committed a last man foul and was shown a straight red.
Despite being a man down, PSV had the chances to add a third goal but they were not taken. Sparta also got chances and they had a goal disallowed for offside. PSV managed to hold on through eight minutes of stoppage time to record their eighth straight league win this season. Sparta is in 8th.
Utrecht 3-2 RKC Waalwijk
Utrecht came from behind to defeat ten-man RKC in an entertaining clash.

A minute later, Utrecht equalised with Nick Viergever heading in on his 350th Eredivisie appearance. Paxten Aaronson made it 2-1 early in the second half and a minute afterwards, David Min fired in from distance to make it 3-1.
