Ajax retained their three-point lead in the Eredivisie as they overcame Feyenoord in their second big domestic clash in as many weeks.
Ryan Gravenberch scored the only goal of the game after 22 minutes with a left-foot shot after side-stepping Marco Senesi. Feyenoord had chances to equalise, notably in injury time when Leroy Fer had a shot well saved by Andre Onana and Luis Sinisterra’s header cannoned off the bar.
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag said his players had shown character to hold off a second-half fightback by Dick Advocaat’s side. ‘I have to compliment my lads on the way they survived. They fought for every metre and in the end came away with the win,’ he told NOS.
