Jeroen Zoet has blamed the “f***ed up” goal-line technology after costing PSV their Eredivisie title hopes against Feyenoord.
Feyenoord extended their lead at the summit of the Dutch top flight after PSV goalkeeper Zoet’s costly error eight minutes from time on Sunday.
They now lead second-placed Ajax by five points, while PSV are 12 points behind.
PSV almost earned a crucial away point at the league leaders, __with Gaston Pereira cancelling out Jens Toornstra’s opener.
But Jan-Arie van der Heijden’s 82nd-minute header was inexplicably carried over his own line by Zoet, who had actually saved the initial shot.

“This is seriously f***ed up,” Zoet told NOS after the match. “The goal-line technology made the difference and things could have been different if it had not.
“He went only by his watch. If that had not happened, I think he would have said no goal.
“You should always keep believing in things, but the title is very far away. [It’s] a serious blow.”
