Ajax’s turbulent campaign hit a new low as they suffered a record 6-0 loss to rivals Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. Reigning champions Feyenoord recorded 30 shots to Ajax’s one as they scored three goals in both halves to earn a famous win in the Dutch ‘Klassieker’. It is the first time Ajax have lost a competitive match by a six-goal margin.
The defeat leaves them sixth – 15 points adrift of the top three and with their Champions League hopes effectively over with five games left.
Feyenoord wingers Igor Paixao and Yankuba Minteh both scored twice, beginning when Minteh quickly followed up his Brazilian team-mate’s 34th-minute opener.
Centre-back David Hancko then put the hosts in complete control before half-time.
Three goals in 10 second-half minutes from Gambian striker Minteh, Quinten Timber and Paixao left four-time European champions staring at further humiliation after 66 minutes.
