De Jong was back home in Holland yesterday for Ajax’s clash with PSV Eindhoven as fans officially said goodbye to the player after his transfer to Newcastle.
A strong second-half performance ensured PSV Eindhoven maintained their 100 per cent start to the Eredivisie season as they beat defending champions Ajax 3-1 on Sunday.
The Amsterdam hosts looked the better side after Anwar El Ghazi gave them a 17th-minute lead but PSV hit back after the interval, with goals from Memphis Depay (52), Luciano Narsingh (64) and Florian Jozefzoon (85) sealing a remarkable turnaround.
