PSV continues its comeback

PSV continued its comeback under manager Dwight Lodeweges with a overwhelming 6-0 humiliation of ADO Den Haag at Philips Stadion.

Just past the half-hour Jason Culina's cross was sent in from close range from by Hungarian international Balázs Dzsudzsák in the first of his three goals. The Aussie was provider once again just before the break when he sent the ball to Ola Toivonen, with the new man giving the home side the 2-0 lead. After the break, the show exploded with Balázs Dzsudzsák scoring one minute after the restart and bringing the match to 4-0 seven minutes later. The first goal came off a well placed cross by El Tri capped Carlos Salcido, who has responded well to being back in the starting grid while the second from a curling free kick just past twenty meters.

The balance of the scoring came with Nordin Amrabat adding his name to the score-sheet twice. The first strike came three minutes past the hour with a slick pass from Jason Culina and the second five minutes later off a long individual run.

With the victory the defending champions climb to fourth place and look ahead to Sunday when they face relegation threatened FC Volendam.
