Memphis Depay stars in PSV Eindhoven stroll

By Joe Fish, Reporter | 20 December 2014

Memphis Depay scores twice to enhance his growing reputation and help Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven thrash Go Ahead Eagles 5-0 at home.

Memphis Depay scored twice to inspire Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven to a 5-0 thrashing of Go Ahead Eagles this evening.

The Netherlands international winger helped the hosts into a three-goal lead at the Philips Stadion, and two stoppage-time strikes completed the rout.

Luuk de Jong's clever hold-up play provided Santiago Arias with the chance to put PSV in front on 14 minutes, and the full-back took it confidently.

Depay, who has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, doubled their lead before the break and enhanced his growing reputation by sealing the points with a 79th-minute third - his 12th goal of the season.

Philip Cocu withdrew the youngster to a standing ovation on 85 minutes, and his replacement Jurgen Locadia scored PSV's fourth in added time

There was still time for Florian Jozefzoon to get on the scoresheet as Cocu's side won for the ninth time in 10 games to move seven points clear of Ajax at the top of the table.
