Twente went top of the Eredivisie on goal difference with a 3-1 victory over Go Ahead Eagles at De Grolsch Veste on Saturday.
Felipe Gutierrez put Michel Jansen s side ahead after 21 minutes before Luc Castaignos doubled Twente s advantage shortly after the interval.
When Rasmus Bengtsson felled Jarchinio Antonia inside the penalty area, Jop van der Linden converted from the spot to give Go Ahead a route back into the game. However, Dusan Tadic scored two minutes after the hour to secure Twente a fourth straight league win.
The 2009-10 champions sit at the summit ahead of Sunday s action, which sees both Vitesse and Ajax, second and third respectively, in action.
The weekend s highest scoring game so far came at the Goffertstadion where bottom side NEC and Roda JC played out a seven-goal thriller, with the former coming from two goals down to secure a valuable 4-3 victory.
Goals in the opening 13 minutes from Guus Hupperts and Krisztian Nemeth had the visitors ahead at the break, but a second-half onslaught from NEC saw Marnick Vermijl, Kevin Conboy and Soren Rieks turn the game on its head.
The latter struck a brace, which included the 500th Eredivisie goal this season, before Frank Demouge s late effort was not enough to spare Roda a third straight league defeat.
After NEC s victory, RKC Waalwijk moved level on points with fellow strugglers ADO Den Haag, thanks to a 2-1 win at the Kyocera Stadion.
Kenny Anderson scored after seven and 82 minutes to extend RKC s unbeaten league run to four matches, with Tom Beugelsdijk s late goal proving scant consolation for the hosts who are now two points off bottom.
