Luis Suarez scored twice and created another as Ajax routed RKC Waalwijk 5-1 Sunday to cut FC Twente's lead atop the Dutch league to four points.

Suarez first provided a cross for Siem de Jong, who headed Ajax in front after nine minutes. De Jong then returned the favor, setting up the Ajax captain for the second in the 47th after Waalwijk had leveled through Marko Pantelic's own goal.

RKC's Frank van Mosselveld also had an own goal in the 65th before further goals by Suarez and Dennis Rommedahl completed the rout.

With six rounds to go, FC Twente leads the standings with 71 points after holding rival PSV Eindhoven to a 1-1 draw Saturday. Ajax moved second with 67 points, one more than PSV.

On Saturday, Heracles Almelo beat NAC Breda 3-0 while FC Utrecht overpowered Willem II by the same score.

Later Sunday, it's: ADO The Hague vs. VVV-Venlo, FC Groningen vs. Roda JC and Sparta Rotterdam vs. AZ Alkmaar.
