Ajax took another step towards the Eredivisie title with an unconvincing win at Heerenveen on a weekend when the top seven teams all won.
The home side were more impressive in the first half at the Abe Lenstra Stadium and took the lead when Mitchell van Bergen dispatched a shot under the dive of replacement goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen.
Dusan Tadic equalised from the penalty spot 10 minutes before half-time after the VAR panel spotted a handball, while Sébastian Haller diverted Lisandro Martinez’s shot into Heerenveen’s net to complete the comeback on the hour mark.
