Eindhoven, Netherlands – Dries Mertens converted a penalty in 1, to return to the Eredivisie summit Sunday.

Mertens' 15th goal was followed by Toivonen's 12th in the 26th, and Matavz had his side up 3-0 in the 29th. Jeremain Lens added a fourth before halftime, and PSV easily held on to extend its league unbeaten streak to six games.

Rajiv Van La Parra fired Heerenveen to its fourth successive victory, 1-0 over 10-man RKC Waalwijk on Sunday as it climbed to third in the table, five points behind PSV and AZ. RKC is 11th.

John Guidetti scored a hat trick as Feyenoord defeated Vitesse, 3-1, on Sunday to move into fourth and even with third-place Heerenveen on points. Guidetti's tied for second in the league with 17 goals. Vitesse is seventh.

Also Sunday, Lex Immers scored in the 43rd as Den Haag held Utrecht 1-1 on the road to remain one point above their foes in a clash of relegation-threatened side. Den Haag is 13th, followed by Utrecht in 14th.
