Kramer hat-trick seals derby win for Feyenoord

Michiel Kramer scored a hat-trick as Feyenoord moved level with Ajax Amsterdam at the top of the Dutch league following a 4-2 victory over city rivals Excelsior Rotterdam on Saturday. Feyenoord have 32 points from 14 matches and sit second on goal difference, though they have also played a game more than Ajax, who travel to PEC Zwolle on Sunday. Kramer took his tally this season to eight goals after evergreen forward Dirk Kuyt had headed the visitors into the lead inside two minutes.
