Eredivisie round-up: Dirk Kuyt on target as Feyenoord maintain winning start

Dirk Kuyt struck his third goal of the season as Feyenoord beat ADO Den Haag 3-1 to maintain their 100 per cent start to the Eredivisie campaign and move two points clear at the top of the table.

Ex-Liverpool striker Kuyt opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before Nicolai Jorgensen added a second a minute later and, although Ludcinio Marengo (86) pulled one back for Den Haag, Karim El Ahmadi made sure of Feyenoord's fifth straight league win deep into stoppage-time.

Den Haag slipped to fourth after going down to their first league defeat of the season.

Ajax bounced back from last weekend's shock home defeat to Willem II thanks to Nick Viergever's second-half header, which secured a 1-0 win against 10-man Vitesse Arnhem at the Amsterdam Arena.

Vitesse were reduced to 10 men in the 67th minute when defender Arnold Kruiswijk was shown his second yellow card for his foul on Joel Veltman.

Groningen climbed off the foot of the table but are still without a home win this season after they were held 1-1 by newly-promoted Sparta Rotterdam.

Mimoun Mahi struck an 11th-minute opener for Groningen, but Sparta, back in the top flight after a six-year absence, hit back to level seven minutes later through Zakaria El Azzouzi.

Go Ahead Eagles secured their first win of the season following promotion, 2-0 against Roda JC, thanks to Kevin Brands' 27th-minute penalty, after Simon Church had handled, and Darren Maatsen's low drive in the 89th minute.
