PSV stages last comback to draw level against AZ

PSV's stunning turnaround manager Dwight Lodeweges continued today as they fought back from a two goal deficit to earn a point against top of the table AZ.

The situation looked bleak at Philips Stadion for the defending champion as Louis van Gaal’s AZ side took two goal advantage in the first half hour on Gill Swerts and Maarten Martens efforts. Seemingly another victim in AZ's remarkable eleven match winning streak PSV came alive after the restart, providing further evidence that the new manager has found a way to motivate the side that Hubb Stevens could not. Finding a quick goal, Balázs Dzsudzsák was provider as he so often is with veteran Danny Koevermans closing the ball out to the back of the net. With nine minutes remaining Francisco Rodríguez was called upon and the former Chivas man immediately had an impact linking up with Danny Koevermans to finish and draw the match level. AZ, desperate not to give up points, poured forward but PSV 'keeper Andreas Isaksson was up to the challenge, maintaining the scoreline in what was unquestionably a moral victory.
