PSV Eindhoven 3-0 De Graafschap

After losing to Liverpool in the Champions League, Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven returned to winning ways when they beat De Graafschap 3-0 at the Philips Stadion. Former Feyenoord striker Danko Lazovic grabbed a brace while attacking midfielder Ibrahim Affelay also got his name on the scoresheet.

The result was Graafschap’s second successive away 0-3 loss, having lost to Twente Enschede by the same margin last week.
