[Orange14]

In the end a comfortable 4-1 victory though it should have been much worse with all the play at the VVV end. Two shots off the woodwork and a number of others right on frame. ten Hag lives to manage another match. David Neres was MOTM with almost a hat trick and a very nice assist to Huntelaar on the third goal. Ajax need only a draw against AZ to clinch 2nd place.

Player Ratings:

Onana (6) - pretty much a bystander for most of the match
Wöber (6) - decent enough and too bad his shot hit the crossbar
de Ligt (7) - not much to defend against and also had a narrow miss at scoring
Veltman (6) - took a hard elbow to the head which didn't even warrant a Yellow Card and was off before the half
Schböne (5) - a charitable 5 as he should have buried the PK; don't know why he wasn't subbed off in the 2nd half
Mazraoui (6) - decent enough match for his first start
van de Beek (6) - had several opportunities to score but came up short each time
Ziyech (7) - solid game from a player whose off to greener pastures next season
Kluivert (5.5) - needs to watch game films of David Neres to learn how to play the wing; too many give aways
Huntelaar (6.5) - didn't get much of an opportunity to score but made sure of the one good chance he had
Neres (8) - Absolutely solid
Kristensen (6.5) - good match and fortunately he didn't have to defend much at all
Ekkelenkamp (NR) - on very late

After a poor first 43 mins we completely dominated the 2nd half and should have scored 8 or 9.Ziyech MOM ,shame he couldn't have played like that v Utrecht ,ADO ,and Vitesse.

Hopefully we can beat AZ and finish 2nd but how many of this team will leave this summer.
