PSV Eindhoven moved top of the Eredivisie, for 24 hours at least, with a hard-fought victory over Sparta Rotterdam.
The visitors trailed 2-1 with just over 20 minutes remaining before goals from Jonathan Reis (69) and Balazs Dzsudzsak (73) secured all three points.
The win takes PSV top of the table by one point from FC Twente, who travel to Willem II tomorrow.
In an action-packed game, PSV took the lead on Friday night after 13 minutes.
Danko Lazovic saw his shot saved by Aleksander Seliga but, from the resulting corner, the same player was left unmarked to head into the corner from close range.
Sparta, thrashed 5-0 by VVV Venlo last time out, could have been expected to crumble but hit back to equalise on 29 minutes.
Darko Bodul's pass fell to Rydell Poepon, who fired home from the edge of the area, but the home side nearly fell behind moments later when Dzsudzsak's shot was cleared off the line.
The home side took the lead 10 minutes into the second half with Bodul and Poepon again involved, Bodul's cross leaving Poepon with a simple finish.
But PSV got back on level terms with 69 minutes on the clock, Reis turning to fire home right-footed from outside the area.
And just four minutes later the visitors were in front for the second time in the game, Orlando Engelaar finding Dzsudzsak in the penalty area where he hit a right-footed shot which went in off the post.
