FC Twente mount spectacular comeback to hand PSV first loss of the season

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/psv/M9UEHJWi/"]PSV[/a] overtook AZ last week after profiting from the latter's 1-1 draw against Willem II with a resounding 4-1 win over [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sparta-rotterdam/KK4FaFV3/"]Sparta Rotterdam[/a]. After winning that game with a rotated starting XI, manager Peter Bosz reverted to his usual suspects, with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/perisic-ivan/4AbKyVr9/"]Ivan Perisic[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/pepi-ricardo/GE8fEuGS/"]Ricardo Pepi[/a], and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/van-bommel-ruben/djWkTIzc/"]Ruben van Bommel[/a], who received his maiden Netherlands call-up this week, starting up front.[/p][p]It was an unfortunate start in the Grolsch Veste for PSV, who saw Pepi forced off with an injury, and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/taha-el-idrissi-younes/zPo5LyPG/"]Younes Taha[/a] put [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/twente/dhOKTHGA/"]FC Twente[/a] in front after eagerly prodding home a rebound after 14 minutes.[/p][p]However, the reigning champions didn't leave it at that and raced back in front through [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/til-guus/bcK8T2U3/"]Guus Til[/a], heading PSV next to Twente after 24 minutes and beating Unnerstall five minutes later to earn his side the lead.[/p][image alt="Match momentum" id="b27e2278-0295-4d62-9168-2bc2e4408bb6" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="4e46cb74-d227-4377-93b4-22fd0cf4d62c" original-width="3840" original-height="2160" /][p]FC Twente looked to recover the lead via [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/holmlund-orjasaete-sondre/zBAQmrhA/"]Sondre Orjasaeter[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/propper-robin/zy1zgBQI/"]Robin Propper[/a], with the former curling the ball just over [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kovar-matej/tIXuiy4C/"]Matej Kovar[/a]'s crossbar, and Propper forcing a smart save out of the Czech stopper right before half-time.[/p][p]The hosts jumped out the gates in the second half and continued mounting pressure on PSV, who breathed a sigh of relief after Orjasaeter's effort whistled past the top corner and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/weghorst-wout/tpWMDFoL/"]Wout Weghorst[/a]'s effort from up close was off the mark.[/p][p]In a decent half of football, FC Twente got back alongside PSV through Weghorst, who escaped from the PSV backline, stayed calm in a one-on-one with Kovar and gave Twente a lifeline to grab all three points with 11 minutes to go.[/p][embed guid="6b9858cb-7a45-4d9b-b315-3a0e5d6b84a1" url="https://x.com/ESPNnl/status/2101677717657718794?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]The comeback was complete when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/weidmann-daouda/0Kh2XJqc/"]Daouda Weidmann[/a] capped off a beautiful 60-yard solo with a neat finish - the Frenchman took the ball from a cleared corner and started from deep into his own half, battled off several PSV defenders and beat Kovar to put the Grolsch Veste alight.[/p][p]PSV could not mount a valiant last-ditch effort to steal a point in Enschede, where FC Twente fans erupted after celebrating their club's first win over the champions in four years. The Eindhoven side officially lost the top spot after a week, relinquishing it back to AZ and even falling into third after Feyenoord's 5-0 win earlier on Sunday.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/psv-M9UEHJWi/twente-dhOKTHGA/?mid=2oyPOHbm"]Check the full match statistics on Flashscore[/a][/b][/p][image alt="Key match stats" id="0f0c463a-9e86-42cb-9892-2e46e40e0e67" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="316766e9-b659-4d8a-8081-a13c5ddd05a3" original-width="2160" original-height="2700" /]
