Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui and Hakim Ziyech rounded off a memorable season with Ajax as a 4-1 away win at de Grafschaap on Wednesday night sealed the Dutch title on the final day of season.

Erik ten Hag’s side needed just a point to win their 34th title and first-half goals from Lasse Schone, Nicolas Tagliafico and a brace by Dusan Tadic ensured that the League title was added to their Dutch Cup win.

Ziyech’s dancing feet created Tagliafico’s goal while his Moroccan compatriot Noussair Mazraoui also played his part in the win before being substituted after 59 minutes.

Youssef el Jebli had briefly equalised for the hosts, putting the ball past Onana in the 40th minute, but the goalkeeper still ended up with the most clean sheets in the league with 16.

Ziyech also had an outstanding season weighing in with 16 goals and 17 assists while Mazraoui scored one goal and provided two assists.

Ajax face a future of rebuilding as Onana and Ziyech are reportedly on the radar of several European clubs after their stunning season.
