Ajax 2 Feyenoord 1: Schone and Neres revive Eredivisie title race

First-half goals from Lasse Schone and David Neres helped Ajax to a crucial 2-1 win over Feyenoord to reignite the Eredivisie title race.

Ajax beat Feyenoord 2-1 at the Amsterdam ArenA courtesy of goals from Lasse Schone and David Neres to revive the race for the Eredivisie title.

Peter Bosz's men were trailing the Rotterdammers by six points heading into Sunday's encounter and knew defeat would effectively end their title ambitions.

The home side were clearly aware of the importance of the game and needed just 53 seconds to open the scoring via Schone. The Denmark international tried his luck from a free-kick well outside the area and beat goalkeeper Brad Jones with a stunning shot into the top corner.
