Aussies Abroad: Sainsbury and Mabil on top with thumping wins

Trent Sainsbury played 90 minutes as PSV Eindhoven thumped Excelsior 6-0 in the Eredivisie on Saturday morning AEDT.

A Luuk de Jong double book-ended the rout extending PSV's lead atop the Dutch first division and serving as an important bounce back after they went down to rivals Feyenoord 2-1 earlier this week.

Aziz Behich was an unused substitute on the bench.

Meanwhile Awer Mabil’s Midtjylland continued their fine form in the Danish Superliga after defeating Odense Boldklub 3-0.

The Caltex Socceroos winger started and finished the game as his side went equal first on the ladder although that may only be temporary with second-placed FC Copenhagen having a game in hand.
