PSV eases past rival Ajax to secure 24th Eredivisie title
PSV Eindhoven is the Netherlands’ best once again.
Thanks to their 3-0 win Sunday against rival Ajax, Phillip Cocu’s men have officially clinched their 24th Eredivisie championship.
The conquest is PSV’s third league championship in the past four seasons, with only Feyenoord’s title last season breaking up their stretch of Dutch dominance. It also assures the side a spot in the 2018-19 Champions League qualifiers.

Uruguayan international Gaston Pereiro converted the opener – and what turned out to be the match-winner – when he pounced on a rebound in the six-yard box to emphatically put PSV ahead 24 minutes in.
Que celebración… ?

For Ajax, historically the best team in the Eredivisie, its latest loss adds to a miserable recent run for the Dutch giants who have now failed to win a single piece of silverware since the 2013-14 season, according to The Guardian’s Priya Ramesh.
