VIDEO: PSV Eindhoven recover from early own goal to beat Feyernoord

10:27 31/08/2015

Feyenoord’s 100 per cent start to the new Dutch Eredivisie season came to an abrupt end on Sunday with a 3-1 defeat at PSV Eindhoven.

Jeffrey Bruma handed Feyenord an early lead in their game against PSV Eindhoven on Sunday with an unfortunate own goal.

A misjudged attempt clearance saw the ball ricochet into the PSV net off the defender’s knee. That fourth-minute opener was cancelled out by effervescent Maxime Lestienne in the 37th minute to send the teams in all square at half-time. Much to the relief of Bruma.

Some individual skills allowed Phillip Cocu’s men to nudge ahead in the 50th minute. A lovely ball by Luciano Narsingh – followed by a great touch and finish from Santiago Arias put the hosts 2-1 up.

PSV then threatened their own goal once more, as Marko Vejinovic’s free-kick was directed against the post by Nicolas Isimat-Mirin in the 74th minute.

A dubious penalty decision made the three points safe for Eindhoven. Substitute Eljero Elia was adjudged to have brought down Davy Proepper before Jurgen Locadia converted the 81st-minute spot-kick.

3-1 the final score and two wins out of two at home in the Eredivisie for PSV.
