Forward Danilo opened the scoring for the Dutch champions, before Kudus scored his first of the game to double his side's lead. Victor Jensen made it 3-0 before half time following a cheeky assist from the Ghanaian.

After the break, a goal from Kenneth Taylor and Mohammed Kudus completed the mauling.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mohammed Kudus made his first Dutch Eredivisie appearance for Ajax in 2022 after a cameo display in Ajax's 5-0 thrashing of FC Twente on Sunday.

The Ghana ace, who missed AFCON due to an injury, has not played in the league since picking an injury against South Africa in the World Cup qualifier on November 15, 2021.

However, on Sunday he replaced Stephen Berghuis as he continues to build on his fitness ahead of next week's UEFA Champions League clash against Benfica.
