Ajax loses to Vitesse, falls 9 points behind PSV

AMSTERDAM (AP) - Four-time defending champion Ajax lost 1-0 Sunday at Vitesse Arnhem thanks to a late goal by substitute Uros Djurdjevic and is now nine points behind league leader PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie.

A listless Ajax created almost no clear-cut chances and now appears unlikely to make it five consecutive league titles.

The match looked to be heading for a 0-0 draw until Djurdjevic fired past Jasper Cillessen in the 85th, two minutes after replacing Bertrand Traore.

PSV left it late Saturday night to beat Willem II Tilburg 2-1, with Netherlands striker Memphis Depay scoring the winner in the 87th after earlier missing a penalty.
