PSV Eindhoven's Luuk de Jong and Malik Tillman scored second-half goals to help retain the Dutch league title in a nervous 3-1 victory at Sparta Rotterdam as their side held off Ajax Amsterdam's challenge in Sunday’s final round of matches.

PSV beat Sparta Rotterdam 3-1 to win their 26th Eredivisie title on Sunday. The Eindhovenaren closed a gap of nine points on Ajax during the season and finished it with a point more than their title rivals.

Ajax had led PSV by nine points with seven league matches remaining but a remarkable collapse saw Peter Bosz's side pip them to the title.
