PSV fans' reaction to rivals Ajax producing 'mother of all chokes' goes viral and it's giving everyone goosebumps

Ajax looked to have surrendered the Eredivisie title to PSV after conceding in the 99th minute against Groningen.

PSV supporters had an incredible reaction to Ajax's almighty Eredivisie title collapse going into the final day of the league.

In the middle of April, Ajax, found themselves nine points clear at the top of the table and well on course to lift a 37th Eredivisie title.

Francesco Farioli's side, captained by England star Jordan Henderson, needed just six points from five games to win the league but have completely capitulated in recent weeks.

Defeats to both Utrecht and NEC, as well as two draws, have been described as 'the mother of all chokes' after they conceded a 99th minute equaliser to Groningen on Wednesday night.

Ajax were leading 2-1 after former Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst struck in the 68th minute and Groningen had a man sent off in added time.

But the ten men rallied and Thijmen Blokzijl found the net right at the death in a huge dent to Ajax's title ambitions.

Rivals PSV claimed a 4-1 win over Heracles and fans waited around to watch the last-gasp leveller on their phones, sparking some wild celebrations in the stands at the Philips Stadion.

Players and coaches were also in the same boat and they too erupted after seeing the goal which puts them in the driving seat for the title.

PSV in perfect position to retain the Eredivisie

PSV, who were pumped 7-1 by Arsenal in the Champions League back in March, are now one point clear of Ajax going into what could be a dramatic final day of the season on Sunday.

"We were faced with a team that gave everything. In the first half we had two or three chances and we made it 0-1," Ajax boss Farioli said after the hugely disappointing draw.

"We had the chance to finish it off. The 3-1 didn't count, because it was a few centimetres offside. Although I saw it again. And then in the last minute... the goal. Football is a game of mistakes, I won't comment on individual players. The energy was there, but it wasn't enough."

PSV, who were actually nine points ahead of Ajax back in December, are now in pole position once again on the final matchday.

Ajax have to hope that they beat Twente at home and that PSV lose away in Rotterdam to win the title they had a firm grasp on not too long ago.
