League leaders Feyenoord continued their winning form in the Dutch Eredivisie by beating Willem II 2-0 in Tilburg.

Nicolai Jorgensen opened the scoring with a back heel and substitute Renato Tapia made it 2-0 one quarter from time. Feyenoord recorded their 8th consecutive win since the start of the season.

Also on Sunday Ajax defeated FC Utrecht 3-2 in Amsterdam. After Kevin Conboy headed in the opening goal for Utrecht, an own goal by Ramon Leeuwin, a penalty by Lasse Schone and a shot by Hakim Ziyech earned Ajax the 3-1 lead. Utrecht' s goal by Mark van der Maarel in the 90th minute came too late to change the result.
