PSV Eindhoven broke through for their first win of the season following a seven-goal thriller against Ajax at the Phillips Stadion.

New PSV coach Fred Rutten had seen his side held to back-to-back draws to start their campaign and a first-half double from Ajax striker Luis Suarez had the hosts trailing 2-1 at half-time. But a brace of goals apiece from Balazs Dzsudzsak, who added to his first-half goal with another after the interval, and Otman Bakkal, who netted the decisive strike in the 75th minute after Urby Emanuelson had made it 3-3, ensured a first win of the campaign.

Defeat for Ajax meant their first dropped points since new coach Martin Jol took charge in the summer. Suarez scored a hat-trick in Ajax's 4-1 romp over newly-promoted RKC Waalwijk last weekend and the Uruguay striker took just two minutes to open the scoring, profiting from a mistake from goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson to stroke home.

Dzsudzsak restored parity with a wonderful free-kick into the top-right corner of the goal after 37 minutes, but Suarez gave Ajax the lead back two minutes later with a clever chip over Isaksson. There were worrying signs for the hosts before the interval, but they would find themselves ahead just ten minutes after the break thanks to the trickery of their Hungary midfielder Dzsudzsak.

With 50 minutes played, the 22-year-old jinked his way past a couple of defenders down the left flank before his low centre allowed Bakkal the easiest of tasks to sweep home from ten yards. Five minutes later Dzsudzsak gave his side the lead for the first time with a free-kick that caught Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenberg out.

Stekelenberg had expected the midfielder to aim for one of his team-mates when he took the set-piece deep on the right flank, but when he instead fizzed a wicked shot towards the far post, the Holland No1 could only stand and watch as the ball flew over him.

Ajax to their credit fought back to make it 3-3 eight minutes later when Emanuelson arrowed a shot from the edge of the area that beat Isaksson at his near post. But Bakkal had the final say when visiting defender Jan Vertonghen missed his headed clearance and allowed the striker to lash home the winner from ten yards.

Elsewhere, Feyenoord maintained their fine start with a 1-0 win at Heracles which moves them into a four-way tie at the summit. Jon Dahl Tomasson struck the winner for the Rotterdammers with ten minutes to go.

Breda are another of the quartet who have set the early pace, along with Twente and Utrecht, and they enjoyed a 2-1 win at Groningen. Edwin De Graaf and Kees Kwakman scored for the visitors with Koen van de Laak grabbing Groningen's consolation.

Twente won 1-0 at Den Haag yesterday while Utrecht were held to a 2-2 draw at home to VVV-Venlo. Sandro Calabro and Keisuke Honda scored for VVV either side of a Dries Mertens double. Mads Junker scored the only goal as Roda JC edged out Nijmegen 1-0.
