Erik ten Hag was very satisfied with his side’s performance after they beat FC Twente (5-0): "We are going to play better and better after the winter break", the Ajax coach said. "But I have to say that we had a hard time in the first thirty minutes. The fact that we eventually scored five times is a big compliment to the team."
In the 22nd game of the Eredivisie season, Ajax claimed three points with a 5-0 win over FC Twente. Sébastien Haller was the star once more with three goals.
