Ajax woe as PSV Eindhoven crowned Dutch champions

A 3-1 win at Sparta Rotterdam was enough to hand Peter Bosz and his men the Eredivisie title, which culminated in one of the most exciting climaxes in living memory. PSV had all but given up hope of the championship. With only five matches to play, four-time European champions Ajax were nine points clear and seemingly cruising to the title. In what was billed as a championship decider, Ajax beat PSV 2-0 in Eindhoven on March 30 and all seemed set fair for the Dutch giants to claim their 37th Eredivisie crown.
