“We didn’t deserve to get anything out of it,” he told .
Feyenoord remain third on 41 points, 20 behind leaders PSV Eindhoven, who beat AZ Alkmaar 4-2 on Friday.

Former Dutch international Demy de Zeeuw returned to the professional game after a seven-month hiatus and scored twice on debut for second from bottom NAC Breda but they still went down 2-3 to ADO Den Haag.
De Zeeuw, who played in the 2010 World Cup for the Netherlands, joined Breda last week after being without a club since his loan deal with Anderlecht ended last year.
Michiel Kramer, with his second of the night, scored the late winner for ADO who twice came back after going a goal down.
