The league leaders dropped points for the first time this season but remain in control at the top of the standings as they had to settle for a tie with their rivals

Dirk Kuyt netted a late equaliser to cancel out Kasper Dolberg's opener as Feyenoord rescued a 1-1 draw with bitter rivals Ajax in Sunday's Eredivisie encounter at De Kuip.

The Rotterdammers remain top of the table following this weekend's results, five points clear of second-placed Ajax, with PSV trailing by seven in third place.

Feyenoord were brimming with confidence heading into the match after winning their opening nine fixtures and made a strong start, with Bilal Basacikoglu calling Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana into action after 12 minutes following some poor defending from Daley Sinkgraven.
