Mainly due to the exploits of Steven Berghuis, Ajax was able to recover from their two-league-game winless run. The Amsterdammers beat Fortuna Sittard 4-0 with two goals and two assists from Berghuis and have retaken second place in the Eredivisie over PSV by goal difference. Ajax had to win in the Johan Cruijff Arena to equal PSV’s points tally and keep the pressure on the leaders Feyenoord who face RKC Waalwijk later on Sunday at home. Ajax dropped points against Go Ahead Eagles last week and had lost to Feyenoord the week before in the league.
