Feyenoord celebrated winning the Dutch title for the first time in 18 years on Sunday as a Dirk Kuyt hat-trick secured the win they needed on the last day of the season.

Kuyt’s goals clinched a 3-1 victory over Heracles at De Kuip as the Rotterdam side became Dutch champions for the 15th time.

They ended a point clear of Ajax, the Europa League finalists who finished their campaign with a 3-1 victory at Willem II.
