Eredivisie: Ajax beat Feyenoord while Heerenveen win at AZ Alkmaar
Sunday 28 October 2018 19:49, UK
Ajax took advantage of Jeremiah St Juste's early dismissal to record a 3-0 win against Feyenoord in the Eredivisie on Sunday.
St Juste was sent off in the fifth minute after the referee reviewed his challenge on Nicolas Tagliafico and changed his decision from a yellow card to a red.
Ajax went ahead just minutes later after a tame shot from Frenkie De Jong was misjudged by goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, who was credited with an own goal.
A long-range shot from Hakim Ziyech doubled Ajax's lead before half-time and Dusan Tadic headed in a third in the 80th minute as the hosts moved back to within five points of Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven.
A late goal from Sam Lammers gave Heerenveen a 3-2 win at AZ Alkmaar, despite the home side scoring first.
