PSV Eindhoven bounce back with comfortable victory over Go Ahead Eagles

PSV Eindhoven shook off last weekend's defeat to Ajax to record a 3-0 win over Go Ahead Eagles this evening.

Three first-half goals allowed Phillip Cocu's side to cruise through the second period and re-establish their 14-point lead over their nearest Eredivisie title rivals.

Memphis Depay started things off in the 23rd minute as the visitors to De Adelaarshorst responded well to losing their 11-match league winning streak.

An own goal from Go Ahead's Jop Van der Linden on 39 minutes gave PSV the two-goal cushion that their dominance deserved, and Andres Guardado made it even more comfortable with a third before the break.

PSV were happy to simply play keep ball after the interval as they ended a difficult week, which also saw them beaten 3-0 by Zenit St Petersburg in the Europa League, with a comfortable 22nd win of the season.
