Ajax are just one point away from clinching their 35th Eredivisie title after beating AZ Alkmaar 2-0 in the Amsterdam ArenA.
Midfielder Davy Klaassen tapped in twice from close range after AZ had matched the champions for the first hour of the game. Although Ajax have a 12-point lead with four matches to play, their superior goal difference means the title is a formality.
‘I’m usually a bit reserved, but it can’t go wrong now,’ Klaassen said after the match, which was watched by 7,500 fans after supporters were allowed back into stadiums for the first time since September.
