Donyell Malen did not score a goal, but the PSV striker was relieved with the three points after the match against FC Emmen. Fellow attackers Mauro Junior and Eran Zahavi signed for the goals (0-2).
Up to FC Emmen's sixteen, Donyell Malen said what PSV showed was not bad. "But after that we were too sloppy. There was little space. Fortunately, we finished it off in the closing stages."
Malen was in front of ESPN's microphone as captain Denzel Dumfries dropped out in injury time with what appeared to be a major injury. Dumfries hobbled off the field under supervision and with a face filled with pain. Yet another setback for the already physically battered PSV. "That's a bit part of football," Malen put into perspective. "It's rotten and this season we might suffer from it a bit more than usual."
