PSV remains in the footsteps of Ajax, Feyenoord and AZ in the battle for the championship. At home against FC Twente, a hard-fought victory was won on Sunday. With two assists, Bakayoko was the man who helped PSV to the 3-1 victory.
Within ten minutes, the team from Eindhoven took the lead through a goal from Fábio Silva. Johan Bakayoko placed it perfectly on Silva’s forehead from the side, who then headed him past keeper Unnerstall van Twente. A cherry on the cake for the basic debut of 20-year-old Silva.
Fight for victory
Twente tied the score immediately after the break. Where Xavi Simons missed a big chance for PSV, Twente managed to hit the target. From the left, Virgil Misidjan seemed to want to give a cross, but it turned into the goal just past Benítez in the far corner.
Ten minutes later it was another cross from Bakayoko that turned out to be worth gold for PSV. He put the rebound after a corner on the head of Luuk de Jong, who scored his 100th Eredivisie goal for PSV. After that, the game really opened up and there were chances for both teams.
After a nice cross from Sangare, Simons managed to keep the peace and tap into the 3-1 in the 75th minute. With that he also put the final score on the scoreboard.
