Dries Mertens opened the scoring for PSV in just the eighth minute from the penalty spot.
The hosts extended their lead through goals from Ola Toivonen and Tim Matavz, before a Jeremain Lens strike in the 43rd minute made it 4-0 at the interval.
Gil Vermouth pegged one back in the 52nd minute for the visitors, who remain at the foot of the table.
Utrecht and ADO Den Haag shared the points at Nieuw Galgewaard in a 1-1 draw.

Rajiv Van La Parra scored five minutes before half-time to give Heerenveen a 1-0 win at RKC Waalwijk.
