Two late goals by Cyriel Dessers secured a draw for Feyenoord Rotterdam against PSV Eindhoven and all but sealed the Eredivisie title for Ajax, Megasportsarena.com reports.
PSV went into the game knowing that AZ Alkmaar had held Ajax to a draw. A win for PSV would put them within two points of their rivals with two games left.
Feyenoord, who booked their place in the Europa Conference League final in midweek, looked tired and PSV took advantage in the first-half. After 16 minutes, Joey Veerman set up Cody Gakpo to fire in the opening goal.
In the 29th minute, Gakpo made it 2-0 after a wonderful combination with Eran Zahavi. PSV were rocking and it seemed they were on course for a crucial win.
In the 86th minute, Cyriel Dessers pulled one back for Feyenoord to set up an exciting end. However, it seemed PSV would hold on to a victory, until a stoppage time penalty was awarded.
A shot from Jens Toornstra hit Mauro Junior on the hand in the 96th minute and a penalty was duly awarded, which was calmly tucked in by Dessers to make it 2-2.
The Nigeria international now has eight goals in 26 league games for Feyenoord whom he joined on loan from Belgian side Genk.
PSV are now still four points behind Ajax, who can seal the title on Wednesday against Heerenveen. Feyenoord is comfortably in third.
