Andres Guardado And Hector Moreno Win Title With PSV Eindhoven

PSV Eindhoven have successfully defended their Eredivisie title after a dramatic final day in the Netherlands. Ajax were on top by goal difference and only needed a win against 17th placed De Graafschap to seal the title. It seemed a simple enough proposition, but Frank De Boer's side faltered dramatically and only managed to draw 1-1, leaving the door open for Eindhoven to clinch it. 

Mexico internationals Hector Moreno and Andres Guardado started as Eindhoven went away to Zwolle knowing that they needed a win and some serious good fortune to overtake Ajax. They got both, as Luuk De Jong scored two and assisted one to lift Die Rood-Witten over Zwolle 3-1. 

The game ended before Ajax's did, and so the players and fans waited nervously before news filtered through that they had won the title. 

Despite winning last season, Eindhoven were not considered favorites due to the fact that they lost their marquee players in Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum over the summer, to Manchester United and Newcastle United respectively. However, the spine provided by Guardado and Moreno along with the resurgent form of Luuk De Jong has seen them defy the odds to win their 23rd title in the club's history.

When they lost 2-0 to Ajax in March, it seemed that Phillip Cocu's side had suffered a fatal slip in their quest for the title, but their persistance is a timely reminder that anything can happen in the final days of a season.
