Fortuna snatch late draw at PSV

Michut's stoppage-time strike denies PSV a home win.

Fortuna Sittard fought back from a first-half deficit to earn a 2-2 draw at PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie. O. Romeny's opener for Fortuna was cancelled out by goals from R. Flamingo and N. Fernandez for PSV, but É. Michut's goal deep into stoppage time secured a share of the spoils. This result defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a narrow home win, proving the visitors' resilience.
