PSV Eindhoven’s perfect start to the Eredivisie season ended with defeat against Ajax at the weekend and in the early stages, Walter Benitez had to make a point blank save.
After 18 minutes, Ryan Flamingo put PSV ahead with a close range finish after a long throw from Mailk Tillman.
Johan Bakayoko then went close before Tillam doubled the lead with a fine run and low strike into the near post.
Less than five minutes into the second half, Tillman set up Luuk de Jong with a great pass but the striker’s effort from close range hit the post. Girona were then reduced to ten men with their captain Arnau sent off for a second yellow card after blocking Noa Lang.
De Jong and Guus Til then missed big chances from close range before Ismail Saibari had a wonderful goal ruled out for accidentally standing on a defenders foot.
A third goal did eventually come with Bakayoko cutting inside before drilling into the bottom corner in the 84th minute. An own goal by Ladislav Krejci then made it 4-0 at the end.
PSV moves onto five points and they are now 19th in the table.
