Both Ernest Faber and Denzel Dumfries feel PSV did not deserve more than the point the team gained in the topper against Feyenoord. 'Of course we would have liked to have won this afternoon, but we should be satisfied with a point.'

According to Faber, PSV could have won, but it would not have been deserved given the game's play. "It was a hesitant start by us," Faber said at the press conference at Philips Stadium. "We were not comfortable on the ball. Still, we got some good opportunities that should have gone in in games like this."
That succeeded soon into the second half. Then the Philips Stadium also got the feeling that PSV could hunt for more, but according to Faber it could also have fallen the other way. "All sorts of things go wrong on the pitch. It could easily have been 4-4, but also 4-1 for Feyenoord or even 4-1 for us. It just kept going up and down. In the end, we should be satisfied with a point."
Dumfries: No hands
Denzel Dumfries was one of the most industrious PSV players on the pitch, but also had his hands full at times in defensive situations. Deep in the second half, the captain was the subject of discussion when a ball after a corner kick did or did not land on his hand. "I thought I hit it on my head," Dumfries said in front of FOX Sports' camera. "But I felt two things: on my head and on my hand. I think my hand hit his head," Dumfries said of the duel in the penalty area with Eric Botteghin.
The Brazilian earlier put Feyenoord ahead 0-1. "It was an exciting match," Dumfries said. "I thought we were quite sloppy on the ball, a little too restless at times. I don't think we deserved to win here. We felt we could do more, but it didn't come out." PSV therefore remains fourth with four loss points behind Feyenoord. Number five Willem II has two points less than PSV. It remains exciting, we look ahead and try to finish as high as possible," Dumfries concluded.
