PSV made no mistake at the resumption of the Eredivisie. Through a hat trick before halftime by Luuk de Jong and goals by Pröpper and Locadia in the second half, PSV recorded a record victory against SC Cambuur: 0-6.
Early red, De Jong razor-sharp
The team of head coach Phillip Cocu - who allowed Héctor Moreno to debut with a starting berth was - sharp and eager and translated that on the pitch. The home side was allowed to hope for a stunt for five minutes, but was decapitated after an early handball and red card for Van de Streek. The ensuing penalty was coolly exploited by De Jong: 0-1. Not too much later, it was another hit. Lestienne found the head of De Jong, who again did not fail and calmly found the free corner: 0-2. PSV then had plenty of room to increase the score. Among others through Lestienne, but the Belgian was unlucky that his effort found the bar. Three minutes before halftime, the score was back on track. This time De Jong was attentive to a rebound and tapped in his and PSV's third.

First PSV goal Davy Pröpper

Immediately after the break, De Jong had a good chance to score his fourth after a smart Lestienne header, but this time it was not on target. In the 56th minute it was again. Davy Pröpper was given free rein and did so with such precision that 0-4 appeared on the scoreboard. The midfielder's first goal in PSV livery.
