Ajax suffer record defeat against Feyenoord

AJAX: Ajax’s disastrous season hit a new low on Sunday when they suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat to bitter rivals Feyenoord in Rotterdam, their largest ever loss in De Klassieker and the joint-fifth biggest defeat in the club’s history.

Ajax have been hit by issues on and off the pitch this campaign but while they were depleted by injury, few would have foreseen their capitulation as they managed one shot at goal compared to 30 for their hosts at De Kuip.

Igor Paixao and Yankuba Minteh grabbed a brace each for the home side to go with goals for David Hancko and Quinten Timber, who made his Netherlands debut last month.“It was tough, bad,” Ajax coach John van ‘t Schip told ESPN. “We were inferior on all fronts -- physically, on the ball. Feyenoord were much stronger in terms of intensity from minute one. We didn’t get into the game.’’
