ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - A deflected Davy Klaassen shot earned Ajax a 1-1 draw at archrival Feyenoord Sunday and kept the Amsterdam club on top of the Dutch Eredivisie.

Defending champion PSV Eindhoven overtook Feyenoord to move second by beating Utrecht 3-1.

Feyenoord, which knocked Ajax out of the Dutch cup less than two weeks ago, took a deserved lead when Dirk Kuyt passed to Sven van Beek who finished from close range in the 38th minute. Klaassen equalized in the 59th when his shot deflected off Feyenoord defender Terence Kongolo into the goal.

In Eindhoven, defender Hector Moreno gave PSV an early lead before Bart Ramselaar briefly gave Utrecht hope with a 49th-minute equalizer.

But Santiago Arias and striker Luuk de Jong scored for PSV to give Phillip Cocu's side all three points.
