PSV beat Feyenoord 3-2 in a thrilling derby, Ajax snatched three points from FC Twente after ten fantastic minutes, FC Volendam grabbed their biggest win since promotion, and Sparta got back to winning ways by beating Telstar.
These eleven players made week 10 as good as it was. Here is the latest top XI from the Dutch Eredivisie, based on Flashscore's ratings system.
GK: Matthijs Branderhorst (Fortuna Sittard) - 7.6
He conceded two goals, but without Matthijs Branderhorst, Fortuna Sittard's Saturday afternoon would've been a whole lot worse.
The Tiel native recorded eight saves against Groningen, whose two goals were hardly Branderhorst's fault. Preventing 0.95 xG is something to appreciate.
DEF: Yannick Leliendal (FC Volendam) - 8.7
Suriname international Yannick Leliendal impressed in FC Volendam's 3-0 win over Heracles Almelo, which cost the latter's manager, Bas Sibum, his job.
The young full-back scored his first Eredivisie goal - a rocket from distance - and was defensively sound with six won duels, two interceptions, and four clearances. Going forward, Leliendal delivered more passes in the final third (13) than anyone else and completed the most dribbles (2).
DEF: Nick Verschuren (FC Volendam) - 8.4
Leliendal's colleague in defence, Ajax loanee Nick Verschuren, played his best game in the orange kit of Volendam. The youngster assisted Leliendal's 2-0, won possession five times, had six clearances, and completed a team-high 73 of his 75 passes. A solid outing for the 20-year-old.
DEF: Marvin Young (Sparta Rotterdam) - 8.1
Netherlands U21 international Marvin Young has impressed so far this season and played another important part in a Sparta victory, this time over promoted outfit Telstar (1-0).
Young won nine of his ten total duels against Telstar, won all three of his tackles, recorded 13 clearances, and kept a clean sheet in Sparta's second win in a row.
DEF: Oliver Braude (sc Heerenveen) - 8.2
Heerenveen fought a more than entertaining 3-3 battle out against NAC Breda, and despite conceding three, right-back Oliver Braude was a highlight of Heerenveen's evening yet again.
The Norwegian back created two chances and assisted as many goals, recorded a game-high 87 touches, and engaged in 16 total duels in Friday's thriller in Heerenveen. His team-high seven clearances and three won fouls also spoke of an active evening for the Nore.
MID: Sven Mijnans (AZ) - 8.2
AZ ran riot against fellow European outfit FC Utrecht, who were thrashed 4-1 in Alkmaar. As always, Sven Mijnans was right among the action again.
Captain Mijnans scored the 3-0 at the start of the second half and assisted Mees de Wit's 4-1, although that goal was 90% down to De Wit's excellent dribbling in and around Utrecht's box. Furthermore, Mijnans had two big chances, five touches in Utrecht's box, took five shots, created three chances, and intercepted two balls. He was all over the place.
MID: Ismael Saibari (PSV) - 8.6
A popular shout for Player of the Week, PSV's Ismael Saibari was just pipped to the title. That doesn't make the shouts any less credible, however.
Saibari lit up De Kuip on Sunday with a hat-trick in PSV's crucial meeting with league leaders Feyenoord, who were beaten 3-2 on their own turf. All three goals oozed class, with the first coming after a smooth cutback before finishing with the outside of his foot, the second being smashed in the roof of Timon Wellenreuther's goal, and the third coming in the form of a succulent lob over the German stopper.
Besides his stellar hat-trick, Saibari created a chance, completed three dribbles, and recorded nine touches in Feyenoord's box. All of that to put PSV back on equal points with Feyenoord at the top of the league.
MID: Mauro Jr. (PSV) - 8.0
Two PSV midfielders in our Team of the Week, and Joey Veerman isn't one of them? Shocking, I know.
Mauro Jr., who usually plays at the left-back position, was thrust into PSV's midfield by Peter Bosz and showcased his elite versatility. Mauro set up Saibari's opening goal and created two further chances against Feyenoord. The Brazilian also won possession eight times and completed 44 of 49 passes. An all-round good performance from the long-time PSV man.
FW: Troy Parrott (AZ) - 8.5
Troy Parrott, like Saibari, could and maybe should have been the Player of the Week. The Irish hitman was on a hat-trick when AZ were given a penalty, but the former Spurs talent failed to convert.
Nonetheless, though, Parrott was a constant threat to FC Utrecht with his six goal attempts, 11 touches in Utrecht's box, two created chances, and three big chances. A third goal could've earned him his first Player of the Week award of the season, but for now, the Irishman will have to work hard for it again.
FW: Tobias Lauritsen (Sparta Rotterdam) - 8.7 (Player of the Week)
When you only score one goal and win the Player of the Week award, you'll have to have done something good, right? Right. And Tobias Lauritsen did.
Lauritsen scored Sparta's only goal in their 1-0 victory over Telstar, but was the focal point of their attack. The Norwegian striker was involved in a rather impressive 24 duels, winning 19 of them. In doing so, Lauritsen became the only player in the Eredivisie this season to win at least 75% of his duels (17 or more).
The four-year Sparta veteran was also fouled six times, won two tackles, intercepted one ball, and created two chances. He dominated his end of the pitch, won his team the game, and earned his first Player of the Week award of the season.
FW: Weslley Patati (AZ) - 8.0
Brazilian winger Weslley Patati was the creative motor behind AZ's 4-1 win, and he's already making his transfer look like a golden move.
Patati assisted two of AZ's four goals against Utrecht and created four total chances. The Brazilian also won possession three times in the final third and completed two dribbles in 75 minutes against Utrecht.
