Goalkeeper Justin Bijlow conceded an own goal to give Ajax the lead in the 22nd minute while Ziyech doubled the lead with four minutes remaining before the half-time call.

Dusan Tadic sealed the victory in the 80th minute as they close the gap on leaders PSV to five points.

Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana and Morocco's Noussair Mazraoui were also in action for the winning team.

Ajax remain in the second spot in the Eredivisie table with 25 points from 10 games and they host Go Ahead Eagles next for Wednesday's Dutch Cup tie.
