Arnhem, Netherlands (My Sportsbook) - PSV Eindhoven's poor away form continued on Sunday as the club was held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-battling Vitesse at Gelredome.

Nordin Amrabat put PSV ahead shortly before halftime but the home side answered in the 65th minute through Niklas Tarvajarvi despite some complaints of offsides from the Eindhoven club.

PSV has now taken just eight points from eight away matches in the league this season, and is now nine points back of league-leaders AZ Alkmaar.

The home side got the better of the play early on, with Nicky Hofs missing a pair of good chances to put his team in front. However, the Vitesse defense made a mess of a clearance two minutes before halftime, allowing PSV to take the lead.

The poor clearance made its way only as far as PSV's Danko Lazovic, who slipped the ball in behind the defense for Amrabat. The striker got to the ball in plenty of space and beat stranded goalkeeper Piet Velthuizen with a low shot to the right.

However, Vitesse got a deserved equalizer midway through the second half when Hofs crossed the ball to the top of the six-yard box for Tarvajarvi, who volleyed it home.

Surprisingly, it was Vitesse that nearly snatched all three points when Julian Jenner's long-range effort flew inches past the right post.

Twente scored a 4-1 win at Groningen to move into third place, five points back of AZ, while last-place Volendam earned a 0-0 draw at Utrecht and Heracles got a goal from Ricky van den Bergh in the 51st minute to beat Sparta, 2-1.
