By | Sports Network

Eindhoven, Netherlands – Dries Mertens tallied four goals on 1 win over Roda.

Ola Toivonen opened the scoring after 14 minutes while Roda had Jagos Vukiovic sent off five minutes later.

It didn't take long for PSV to take advantage as Mertens scored twice and Kevin Strootman added another goal in the span of 13 minutes to make it 4-0 at halftime.

Sanharib Malki pulled a goal back for Roda after the break, but Mertens added two more goals and Tim Matavz got his name on the scoresheet as well for PSV's fourth win in six games.

Roda has lost five of six and sits in 15th place.

Ajax 1, Twente 1

Heerenveen 1, Heracles 1
