Gregory van der Wiel scored the winner 12 minutes from time to take Ajax to 70 points and effectively wrap up the league championship with two rounds remaining.
While Feyenoord are six points behind with two games to go, the Rotterdam club have an inferior goal difference that means Ajax have a 24 goal advantage over Feyenoord so even two defeats will not deny Ajax the title.
With PSV Eindhoven sitting in 3rd position, it appears that the traditional "big three" of Dutch football are starting to re-assert their place at the top after 3-4 years of suffering at the hands of FC Twente and AZ Alkmaar.
