In the second half, it was De Jong who shot the Eindhoven team ahead for the hour. After an assist, the PSV captain was now also good for a goal. But a few minutes later it was already the same, when Sander van de Streek hit back on behalf of Utrecht.
Othman Boussaid made way ten minutes before the end, Bakayoko was allowed to stay on the field for 87 minutes. Thorgan Hazard was not there due to an injury. PSV cannot count on the Red Devil for a number of weeks, who was injured in the Europa League match against Sevilla.
PSV remains in fourth place in the Eredivisie standings with 43 points due to the division of points. Utrecht is seventh with 34 units.
