Michael Bradley scored for the fifth consecutive match as the Heerenveen machine hit a lucky seven against Vitesse and Charles Kazlauskas' TOP Oss blanked visiting AGOVV.

FRISIANS RING UP SEVEN ON VITESSE
The Heerenveen scoring machine kept producing on Saturday night as Heerenveen took hold of second place with a 7-0 whitewashing of visiting Vitesse.

Michael Bradley chipped in with his 12th goal of the season - and sixth in the last five outings - plus an assist in his 64 minutes.

The hosts broke on top after 10 minutes, with Gerald Sibon releasing Miralem Sulejmani to round the keeper and score.

Four minutes later, Bradley engineered a rush that ended with Jakob Poulsen rolling along the top of the box for Danijel Pranjic to fire home.

Bradley got in on the act four minutes after the break by lashing in a Poulsen cutback from the right, then in the 57th minute, sent Gianni Zuiverloon into the area for the 4-0.

Roy Beerens came on for the American past the hour, but it was enough time for him to bag his first two goals if the season. The diminutive winger split two defenders to punch home in the 66th minute and tapped in a Sulejmani goalmouth pass in the 80th.

Thomas Prager, who was linked to a move to Danny Szetela loaners Racing Santander earlier in the week, came on to hitting a slalom-like seventh from the top of the area with his left foot in the 82nd minute to cap the rout.

Heerenveen will now try to cut their nine-point deficit on tabletop PSV Eindhoven at Philips Stadion next Saturday night.

TOP EASE PAST AGOVV
TOP Oss kicked off the new Jupiler League period with a 2-0 home win over AGOVV Apeldoorn on Friday night.

Charles Kazlauskas put in an industrious 89-minute shift on the right side of midfield in his 100th match for the home side.

AGOVV enjoyed some nice early possession without a shot on goal, while TOP attacker Wouter van den Herik was foiled by Raymond Lenting on wing raids from either side. Then, at the end of an away fast break, Dries Mertens saw his shot labeled for the corner pawed away by Wilko de Vogt.

Moments later, after a poor giveaway by the visitors in their own end, the oft-injured Van Den Herik found the third time a charm when he slotted the opener near the quarter hour.

The troublesome Kazlauskas saw sharp angle efforts on the run saved on each side of the break, then Quekel spurned a close range chance.

The striker would not be denied after another AGOVV defensive mishap, lobbing past stranded keeper Lenting for the insurance tally.

Kazlauskas thought he'd added a third in stoppage time with a cheeky deflection from a Dirk Schoofs free kick, but the offside flag had gone up.

Tenth place TOP now travel to Cambuur on Friday night.

TOP - Wouter van den Herik (Bart van Hintum) 14'
