On-loan striker John Guidetti plundered a hat-trick as Feyenoord beat Ajax 4-2 at De Kuip to go seven points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax took a 19th minute lead through highly-rated Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, but Guidetti levelled from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark.

Guidetti, who is on loan at Feyenoord from Manchester City, put his side in front four minutes before half-time and Otman Bakkal increased the lead five minutes after the break.

Substitute Dmitri Bulykin gave Ajax hope by pulling a goal back 10 minutes from time, but Guidetti completed his hat-trick three minutes later to clinch the points for Feyenoord.

Twente also had a hat-trick hero to thank after Luuk de Jong's treble secured a 4-1 home win over Groningen to move McClaren's side to within two points of the summit.

Striker De Jong has been linked with a move to the Premier League and he scored after 14 and 23 minutes for the hosts.

Virgil van Dijk got Groningen back in the game two minutes after half-time, but De Jong scored his third on 58 minutes and Leroy Fer added Twente's fourth nine minutes later.

RKC Waalwijk moved further clear of the relegation places after an emphatic 4-0 home success over struggling VVV Venlo.
