Twente set for sanctions over offensive chants

The players were led off the pitch early in the second half after Twente fans, angry at Brazilian Douglas Costa's dismissal late in the first half, chanted insults at referee Ruud Bossen.

Second-placed Twente lost 2-1 after conceding the winner in the fourth minute of stoppage-time, suffering a blow to their title hopes.

Erik Falkenburg won it for Alkmaar after Twente had equalised a minute from time through Luuk de Jong. The hosts also finished with 10 men after Nick Viergever's 63rd minute dismissal.

Dutch under-21 international midfielder Georgino Wijnaldum hit four goals in Feyenoord's 5-1 mauling of fourth-placed Groningen.
