PSV won yesterday against FC Twente in front of their own crowd with big numbers. In this game, Ricardo Pepi was again a goal-scorer and Noah Fernandez scored his first goal for the A-selection. With the record of the biggest lead ever and a season full of goals, PSV put a historic finish to a dominant year in the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie.

Thanks to the victory over FC Twente, Peter Bosz 's team ended the season with an immense lead of no less than nineteen points over the number two. With this, PSV broke the current record of champion with the biggest lead ever. The previous record stood at seventeen points and was set by Ajax in 1998. PSV already came close to this achievement in 2001 as well as in 2015, having equaled the record twice.

Inauguration
Not only Peter Bosz 's team won the national title this year, but PSV Women also became this year's champions. Roeland ten Berge 's team recently captured the first title in club history by beating ADO Den Haag 2-0 at home. Therefore, at halftime there was a nice moment for the women's team and the homage took place in the Philips Stadium.

Number 100
With scoring, PSV has little trouble this season. This was evident yesterday when goals by Ryan Flamingo, Noah Fernandez, Dennis Man, Guus Til and Ricardo Pepi contributed to a 5-1 win. With this, PSV passed the 100-goal mark in the league for the third year in a row.

Pepi continues to score
'El Tren' continues to thrive, scoring in his 100th premier league game for the fifth consecutive week. The striker has been a frequent threat this season, averaging just 88 minutes for a goal. The American finishes this season with 19 goals in all competitions, experiencing his most productive season since arriving in Eindhoven.

Noah's first
Noah Fernandez was outstanding against FC Twente and crowned his strong performance with his first goal for PSV 1. Noah took an effective shot from outside the sixteen-meter area, crowning a successful season in which he joined the main squad for good. Earlier, at the age of seventeen, the Belgian became the youngest player since Memphis Depay to be involved in a goal during his starting debut, after giving an assist in the cup game against GVVV.
