sc Heerenveen came from two goals down to beat Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord 5-3 on Sunday, ending the visitors’ unbeaten league run and extending their own winning streak to four matches.
Ringo Meerveld scored a hat-trick after coming on as a substitute, as Feyenoord’s 2-0 lead turned into a defeat in Friesland. The result was also their fifth match in a row without a win, following defeats by Real Betis and Internazionale and draws with PSV and Fortuna Sittard.
Feyenoord remain top for now, but Ajax or FC Twente could take first place with a win in their match later on Sunday. PSV could also move above them if they beat SC Cambuur.
Heerenveen climbed to fifth after their fourth consecutive victory.
