PSV brushed aside Groningen 5-1 at the Philips Stadion, turning a nervy start into a rout once Van Bommel took over on the left flank. The 22-year-old didn't get on the scoresheet himself but had a hand in nearly every goal, tearing apart Groningen's right side all afternoon. The visitors actually led first through Willumsson in the 9th minute, but Blokzijl turned into his own net just two minutes later to level things. Perisic put PSV ahead for good in the 35th minute, and Pepi added a stoppage-time penalty before the break to make it 3-1. Van Bommel picked up a yellow card for a foul on the Groningen keeper, and things got worse for the away side when Rente was stretchered off after a nasty collision. PSV then blitzed two more in five second-half minutes through Perisic again and Dest. It's an emphatic response from PSV despite losing key midfielders over the summer, while Groningen stay on six points from three games and slip off top spot, with Fortuna Sittard up next.
