An angry group of supporters gatecrashed training on Thursday to demand an explanation for the recent slump in form from Van Basten and they are hardly likely to have been placated by another poor showing in Arnhem.

Luis Suarez's equaliser to Lasse Nilsson's opener was the highlight of a dismal afternoon for the Amsterdammers, who slumped to defeat thanks to further goals from Dalibor Stevanovic, Nilsson and Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

Blaise NKufo opened the scoring for Twente but Stephan Keller and Luuk de Jong turned the match in the hosts' favour.

NKufo's 83rd-minute penalty ensured a point for Steve McClaren's men.

Edison Mendez scored either side of half-time to restore the visitors' two-goal advantage and Otman Bakkal settled the game with four minutes to go.

Rowin van Zaanen netted a late consolation but PSV held on with ease to move within a point of Ajax. Both sides finished with 10 men - Toivonen and Jack Tuyp both seeing red.
