top flight since 1938 — and they're still in the hunt for european football after a 2—0 win over west ham had another impressive season, and west ham perhaps had their eye on their europa conference league semifinal second leg. brentford are up to ninth. i think the first one was high pressure. we won it high and had a very quick transition and produced a very good goal. and i think the long throw thing paid off again. but besides that, i think we had five, six, seven big chances and five, six, seven good opportunities, so i think you can't discuss anything today. feyenoord won the dutch league title for the 16th time in their history, although their first for six years, following a comfortable 3—0 win over go ahead eagles. in front of their own supporters in rotterdam, feyenoord were victorious. nearest challengers psv can't catch them with only two games left. there were jubilant celebrations at the final whistle and head coach arne slot was thrown into the air by his players. ajax's match against groninegen was abandoned after home supporters invaded the pitch to protest against the cl
