Elsewhere, it was something of a breakthrough weekend for Oleksandr Zinchenko at PSV Eindhoven as he played the full 90 minutes and starred as the Dutch champions beat ADO Den Haag 3-1.
Playing in a creative midfield role, the Ukraine international even assisted the third goal with an excellently weighted pass for striker Luuk De Jong.
