PSV Eindhoven maintained their 100 per cent start to the Eredivisie season as they beat defending champions Ajax 3-1, while Zwolle also recorded another victory.

The Amsterdam hosts looked the better side after Anwar El Ghazi gave them a 17th-minute lead but PSV hit back after the interval, with goals from Memphis Depay (52), Luciano Narsingh (64) and Florian Jozefzoon (85) sealing a remarkable turnaround.

PSV join PEC Zwolle as the only two teams to have won all three of their opening matches, while Ajax suffered their first defeat of the new campaign.

Zwolle also had to come from behind to see off Vitesse Arnhem 2-1.
