PSV beat Sparta Rotterdam 3-1 to retain Dutch league title
PSV lifted the title they won last season to take their overall tally to 26, 10 behind Ajax, as they finished the season with 79 points from 34 games, one ahead of their great rivals from Amsterdam.
Ivan Perisic put PSV ahead after 27 minutes but when Gjivai Zechiel equalised for Sparta, Ajax, who at one stage had a nine-point lead in the title race, took over at the top of the table as they went on to win 2-0 at home to FC Twente.
But De Jong restored PSV's lead after 58 minutes and when Tillman rifled in a third from the edge of the box with six minutes remaining, the visitors were able to celebrate their seventh win in a row and claiming the league championship.

Revealed: When Chelsea's swoop for Xavi Simons 'is set to be completed' with RB Leipzig's Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich just days away
Chelsea are reportedly now just days away from completing the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons. The Blues have been in talks with the Dutchman's camp for weeks and are believed to have already agreed personal terms. But Leipzig are yet to receive a bid from the Club World Cup Champions for Simons, who is valued at around £60million by the Bundesliga side. It seems an offer is now imminent however, with Chelsea hopeful of completing a deal for the highly-rated 22-year-old after the beginning of the German top-flight this weekend. Simons' last appearance for Leipzig is set to come on Friday at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich, according to Florian Plettenberg, then the transfer will likely be completed. The former Barcelona wonderkid, who netted 10 league goals last season, is thought to be keen on a move to Enzo Maresca 's side. If the move does indeed come off, Simons will face fierce competition for his place when he arrives at Stamford Bridge. Despite already boasting Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and youngster Tyrique George on the wing, the Blues have strengthened their frontline this summer with the signings of Jamie Gittens and the promising Estevao. And they're also working on a deal to bring in Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho after he was told to find himself a new club by Ruben Amorim. The Argentine, 21, is understood to have agreed personal teams with Chelsea but there remains a gap in the two clubs' valuation of him. The Blues will likely have to chop players from their bloated squad before they splash out the £60m United desire for Garnacho. Todd Boehly and co are reportedly working on doing just that, with up to nine players at risk of being sold by Chelsea before the transfer window closes early next month. It's thought the club are trying to arrange sales or loans for Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Renato Veiga, Alex Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, Tyrique George and Raheem Sterling. Following an underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal last term, Sterling is said to be keen on a permanent move away from the club but his £325,000-a-week contract is proving to be something of a stumbling block in transfer negotiations. Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham United are all interested in securing his signature, with the former England international favouring a move to a London-based club. Chelsea began their Premier League campaign last weekend with a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge against Palace, who had an Eberechi Eze free-kick disallowed in the first half by VAR. After the match, Enzo Maresca was critical of his side's toothless performance. 'We could have counter attacked better, we could have defended better, but it is only the first game of the season,' he said. 'For sure, slowly, slowly, we're going to be better. 'They (Palace) played about eight games (in pre-season). We played just two. We tried our best. We didn't lose a clean sheet.' The Blues travel east to face West Ham in a London derby on Friday evening.

'It doesn't get much better in terms of debuts'
BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club panel were all impressed by Tijjani Reijnders' "unbelievable" Premier League debut against Wolves in which he scored one and provided an the departure of Kevin de Bruyne this summer, there has been a lot of talk around how Pep Guardiola fills their 'Kev-shaped hole,' but any existing worries have probably now been put to bed because of Reijnders' potential."He's still got a long way to go before we put him in the same league as De Bruyne," said former top-flight striker Sutton. "They are not like-for-like players, but it is about making an impact and he certainly did that."The reverse pass for Erling Haaland, when he scored his second, was clever and a typical City move."All afternoon he was a threat. It doesn't get much better in terms of debuts so I think City fans have a lot to be excited about with him."Watch the full episode on BBC iPlayer and listen on BBC Sounds
