USMNT trio of Ricardo Pepi, Malik Tillman, Richy Ledezma on target as PSV thrash FC Twente

PSV's American contingent of Ricardo Pepi, Malik Tillman and Richy Ledezma delivered once again for Peter Bosz's side as they all scored in PSV's 6-1 thrashing of fifth-placed FC Twente. The league leaders went behind early, but soon recovered. Noa Lang equalized inside 20 minutes, and Tillman provided the second with a scrappy finish in the box. Moroccan center midfielder Ismael Saibari bagged the third before half time, and added the fourth early in the second half - off the back of a smooth piece of set-up play from Pepi.

Ledezma was next, cannoning a shot in off the post - his first goal in over two years. Pepi completed the rout with a deserved goal of his own, a delightful chip over the keeper with five minutes remaining.

Pepi has played a significant role this season. His chip marked his 10th goal of the Eredivisie season, and 12th in all competitions. He seems to have put pressure on PSV captain Luuk de Jong for the starting No. 9 spot, as the Dutch international watched the entire game from the bench.

PSV are in fine form. The league leaders have won five straight, and six of their last seven. They have scored 26 goals in their last six matches.

PSV's next game is a Champions League fixture against surging Brest. A win would go a long way to securing a spot in the knockout phase of the revamped format.
