AMSTERDAM (AP) -- American forward Jozy Altidore raised his Dutch league-leading goals total to eight, scoring in the 24th minute for AZ Alkmaar in a 3-3 tie against Waalwijk on Sunday.

Altidore has nine goals in nine games this season, including a score in the Dutch Cup. He also made the pass for midfielder Adam Maher to tie the score for AZ in the 86th minute, which extended its home unbeaten streak to 26 matches.

Dries Mertens and substitute Juergen Locadia both scored hat tricks as PSV Eindhoven beat Venlo 6-0 to move into third.
