Stefan Nijland scored in each half as PEC Zwolle moved up to third in the Eredivisie with a thumping 4-0 win at bottom side Dordrecht.

Nijland opened the scoring just after half-time but it was not until the 79th minute that they doubled their lead through Sheraldo Becker.

Ben Rienstra made sure there was no way back after 85 minutes before Nijland rounded off the scoring immediately afterwards to flatter PEC, who moved above Feyenoord after they were defeated 3-1 at Heerenveen.

Colin Kazim-Richards gave the visitors the lead just before the half-hour mark but the teams went in level at the break following Simon Thern's equaliser.

Sam Larsson scored in the 58th and 77th minutes as Heerenveen stretched their unbeaten run to seven league matches and remain seventh in the table.

Twente missed the chance to move into the top five after they were beaten 2-0 at ADO Den Haag.

Oleksandr Yakovenko gave the home side an early lead while Roland Alberg's last-gasp penalty ensured Twente went home with nothing.

Goals from Valeri Qazaishvili's and Denys Oliynyk's helped Vitesse move up to eighth and above Cambuur Leeuwarden with a 2-0 win, while Rob Haemhouts' late goal lifted Willem II to a 1-0 victory over Utrecht.
