De Tukkers continue on unbeaten path

De Tukkers regained their winning ways with a 2 - 1 victory over FC Volendam, bringing their unbeaten streak to thirteen matches.

However the visiting side, who are at the bottom of the Eredivisie table did not make it easy and after a penalty was called upon Kenneth Perez in the fifth minute, Paul de Lange converted from the spot. Looking for the equalizer, Eljero Elia was creating problems but two minutes before the half hour Austrian international Marko Arnautović added his tenth of the season. Only six minutes later Twente was the beneficiary of a penalty call themselves and Blaise Kufo gave them home side the lead to stay. Volendam had a great deal of possession in the balance of the half but could not find a way through. Following the break Kenneth Perez was able to create a few chances but until Melvin Platje came in late Volendam hadn't posed much of a threat. Those threats were silenced with quality defending and Steve McClaren's side climbed within nine points of AZ with victory.
