​Feyenoord tightened their grip on third place and a Europa League qualification spot with a 1-0 win at FC Twente on Sunday.

Michiel Kramer scored the only goal of the game in the 13th minute to keep his side six points clear of Utrecht in fourth with four games left to play. 

Utrecht themselves won 3-1 against NEC Nijmegen, with goals from Ruud Boymans, Nacer Barazite and Sebastien Haller securing the three points against a side that saw Wojciech Golla sent off late on.

Elsewhere, Heerenveen recorded an entertaining 4-2 win over AZ Alkmaar. Ron Vlaar netted an own goal after nine minutes to put Heerenveen ahead, before Joey van den Berg doubled the home side's lead.

Dabney Dos Santos pulled one back for AZ, but Arber Zeneli and Luciano Slagveer then struck to secure the win, before Vincent Janssen's late consolation.

And FC Groningen came from behind to beat De Graafschap 3-1. Cas Peters put the away side ahead, before Rasmus Lindgren and Oussama Idrissi netted either side of a Hidde Jurjus own goal.
