PSV recorded a big win over Fortuna Sittard on Saturday night, preserving their unbeaten status in the Eredivisie on home soil against the Limburgers. Ivan Perišić was the man of the evening with a hat-trick.

PSV also maintained its unbeaten status against Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie on their own field last weekend. After a stiff start to the match, the first goal fell quickly, after which PSV dominated the rest of the game. Ivan Perišić was the big standout with a hat-trick, while Noa Lang also put his name on the scoreboard. In each of the previous encounters with the Limburgers in Eindhoven, PSV had been treacherous, and once again Peter Bosz 's team proved their scoring ability. In six of the last eight games, PSV managed to score at least three times. Lang himself now has 12 goals to his name this season, in addition to 12 assists.

Star of the Match
Ivan Perišić was named Star of the Match for the second time in a row. The Croatian is in top form in 2025, scoring nine of his 12 goals this year. They were also his first goals in an premier league match at the Philips Stadium.

Final phase of the season
PSV have narrowed the gap on leaders Ajax to four points, after the Amsterdammers fell short of a 1-1 draw at home against Sparta Rotterdam. Next weekend, Peter Bosz 's team travels to Rotterdam for the game with number three Feyenoord, who are currently five points behind. Earlier this season, PSV beat Feyenoord at home 3-0.
