Mason Mount's second-half strike proved enough as Vitesse Arnhem returned to winning ways to condemn struggling Sparta Rotterdam to defeat at Sparta-Stadion on Tuesday night.
Mount had an attempt saved just four minutes in as the visitors searched for an opener but Sparta began to dominate soon after.
Loris Brogno was denied on three occasions following efforts from team-mates Fred Friday and Robert Muhren.
However, it was Vitesse that took the lead after 64 minutes as on-loan Chelsea midfielder Mount fired Milot Rashica's cross into the bottom corner for his fourth goal of the season.to seal maximum points.
It meant a sixth-straight Eredivisie defeat for Rotterdam, who are bottom of the table on goal difference.
