Ajax players celebrate vs PSV© AFC Ajax
Ajax won 2-0 at arch-rivals PSV Eindhoven on Sunday, taking the Amsterdam giants one step closer to a 37th Dutch league title. Goals either side of half-time from Davy Klaassen and Bertrand Traore continued Ajax’s unbeaten run in the Eredivisie that dates back to early December. Francesco Farioli’s side now sit nine points clear of second-placed and defending champions PSV, and 15 clear of third-placed Utrecht. The 35-year-old Italian coach arrived in July 2024 to turn the page on a horrific season for Ajax, who finished 35 points adrift of PSV after being bottom of the table for several weeks — a first in the history of the Netherlands’ most successful club.
This season, Ajax were eliminated from the Europa League after losing twice to Eintracht Frankfurt in the last 16.
