After earlier against PEC Zwolle, Donyell Malen also scored with his head against ADO Den Haag. This time a very important one because with his 3-1 he decided the match. "I can head quite nicely," Malen laughed at FOX Sports.
'Luuk and I feel each other'
"It is the only similarity between me a Luuk (de Jong, ed.)," he continued afterwards. "We (De Jong and Malen, ed.) do feel each other well. It was the first time he was a bit behind me. It went well."
With his head power, Malen amazed his direct opponent and goalkeeper Zwinkels, who tried to snatch the ball out of his goal while falling. "I can head quite nicely. It was a good cross, we do that more often in training and you see it pays off."
'Well seasoned'
More than an hour earlier, PSV was allowed to cheer thanks to Denzel Dumfries. The back put PSV up 1-0 after a fine action. Notabene with his inferior left foot. 'Yes that one is also well seasoned,' Dumfries said after being asked about the proverbial gunpowder in his legs. "He was right in there. I thought I'll just shoot. A beautiful moment. Now that I see it like this, it's kind of enjoyable."
The third goal scorer, Luuk de Jong, like Malen, scored with his head. "At training he has no chance, Luuk knows that too," Dumfries laughed after being asked about De Jong's headiness. "I sometimes ask him if he has a headache, Luuk can head so well and so much. That's really not normal."
