Feyenoord moved up to fourth place as Denny Landzaat's goal earned a 1-0 win at home to VVV Venlo. Landzaat was on hand to score in the 26th minute after VVV goalkeeper Kevin Begois had made a hash of Roy Maakay's ball into the area.

The result took the Rotterdam giants level on points with third-placed Ajax, who take on AZ Alkmaar tomorrow. League leaders Twente, who play FC Groningen on Sunday, are three points further ahead.

Three for Falkenburg
Erik Falkenburg capped a stunning hat-trick with the 90th-minute winner as Sparta Rotterdam claimed a 3-2 win away to ADO Den Haag. Falkenburg put the visitors in the lead in the ninth and 38th minutes, with Danny Buys and Charlton Vicento grabbing the equalisers.

That left the stage for Falkenburg to take advantage of a calamitous defensive mix-up to tap home the winning goal. The game had earlier been delayed 15 minutes after a pitch invasion.

Breda beat basement boys
A 33rd-minute strike from Anthony Lurling earned a 1-0 victory for NAC Breda over RKC Waalwijk. The result means the visitors, who also lost Gijs Luirink to a late red card, remain marooned on three points, four adrift of second-bottom Willem II.

Elsewhere, Willy Overtoom and Sebastian Steur scored in each half as Heracles Almelo claimed a 2-0 win at Vitesse Arnhem.
