THE HAGUE, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Five days after the spectacular 4-4 at Chelsea in the Champions League, Ajax put up another impressive performance against FC Utrecht (4-0) in the Dutch Eredivisie on Sunday in Amsterdam.

With Zakaria Labyad in for injured Brazilian winger David Neres, Ajax dominated with attractive play from the start. After chances for Daley Blind, Dusan Tadic and Lisandro Martinez Donny van de Beek put the home team in front from an assist by Tadic.

Captain Tadic added the second after a cross by Quincy Promes. On the stroke of half-time Van de Beek produced his second goal and after the break, Martinez made it 4-0. Ajax left Utrecht breathless in the second half but failed to score more goals.

Also on Sunday PSV suffered another blow at Willem II. After five matches without a win, PSV coach Mark van Bommel decided to replace goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet with Lars Unnerstall. The measure failed to sort effect as PSV lost 2-1 in Tilburg.

The home team opened the scoring in the 7th minute through Che Nunnely and he added another goal in the second half. The late goal by PSV substitute Gaston Pereiro could not prevent the third defeat in four Eredivisie matches for PSV.

Feyenoord beat bottom-side RKC Waalwijk 3-2 thanks to a header by Marcos Senesi five minutes from time and AZ had no trouble with FC Emmen (3-0). Teun Koopmeiners (penalty), Myron Boadu and Calvin Stengs scored for AZ on Sunday night.

Ajax now lead the Eredivisie table with 35 points after 13 rounds, followed by AZ with 29 points, PSV with 24 points and FC Utrecht and Vitesse with 23 points. Enditem
