PSV Eindhoven closed in on the playoff round with a 3-0 home rout of Danish side Midtjylland in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie on Tuesday night.
An impressive first half saw PSV take a 19th-minute lead as England Under-21 midfielder Noni Madueke, a £20m target for Leicester City and Crystal Palace, unleashed a superb shot from 20 metres into the top corner.
Germany midfielder Mario Goethe made it 2-0 in the 29th with a heavily deflected shot and Cody Gakpo added the third three minutes later with a simple tap-in from two metres after a flowing move.
