Ziyech scores as Tottenham dent Ajax's Champions League final ambition

Hakim Ziyech and his Ajax side suffered a shocking 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, who progressed to the final of the Uefa Champions League on away goals.

The Dutch outfit came into Wednesday’s tie off a 1-0 away victory over Mauricio Pochettino's men and started the game brightly.

Captain Matthijs de Ligt headed a fifth-minute opener from a corner before Ziyech made it 2-0 10 minutes before half-time.

However, after the break, the visitors started the fight back with Lucas Moura scoring twice to level in the 55th and 59th minutes.
