Brett Holman’s AZ Alkmaar have slipped up at home and let rivals Ajax and PSV Eindhoven make up ground in the title race in the Dutch top-flight.

A goal-less draw against NAC Breda allowed Ajax to move within one point with PSV just a further point behind with eight rounds to play.

The Aston Villa-bound Holman produced a stinging drive in the first half that was dealt with by NAC Breda goalkeeper Jelle ten Rouwelaar.

Meanwhile, Socceroos defender Michael Zullo made his first start for Utrecht in nearly three months as the club halted a three-match run without a win.

The 3-1 home victory over FC Groningen put Utrecht five points clear of the drop zone with a favourable draw to finish the season.
