PSV take title in Netherlands as Feyenoord fail to win

PSV Eindhoven were crowned Dutch champions on Sunday for a third successive season when their nearest challengers, Feyenoord, failed to win at Volendam, Reuters reported. 

The goalless draw left PSV, who had won 4-3 at home to Utrecht on Saturday, with an unassailable lead with five matches left in this season's Eredivisie.

PSV advanced to 71 points from 29 games on Saturday, meaning Feyenoord had to win to keep alive their slim hopes, but the draw at Volendam left them with 54 points – 17 points adrift.
