Midweek Drama Leads to PSV in the Driver's Seat on the Final Day
PSV Eindhoven stands on the verge of completing a remarkable title turnaround in the Dutch Eredivisie, with American internationals Malik Tillman and Sergino Dest playing crucial roles in their championship push. After trailing Ajax by nine points with just five matches remaining, PSV has seized control of the title race dramatically.
Wednesday's fixtures proved pivotal in the championship battle as PSV demolished Heracles Almelo 4-1 at the Philips Stadion while Ajax stumbled to a 2-2 draw against Groningen after conceding a heartbreaking equalizer nine minutes into stoppage time.
American midfielder Tillman was the star of the show for PSV, netting twice in their comprehensive victory. His clinical finishing helped Peter Bosz's side leapfrog their rivals into a one-point lead at the top of the table with just one match remaining. Meanwhile, fullback Dest continued his impressive form since returning from injury, providing an assist in the victory.
"It's something you wouldn't even dare to dream," admitted PSV captain Luuk de Jong after the match, reflecting on their incredible comeback.
PSV now need just a victory against 11th-placed Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday to secure the Eredivisie crown, regardless of Ajax's result against Twente. With six consecutive wins and 22 goals scored in their last six matches, PSV appears ready to help deliver a championship that seemed impossible just weeks ago.
