With a little over 20 minutes of the contest remaining, Vilhena was picked out on the left flank.

A clever first touch took him towards the penalty area and away from defenders, with the space then opening up for him to drill a powerful effort into the bottom corner.

With Ajax dropping two points in a 1-1 draw at Excelsior, Feyenoord are now six points clear at the top of the table as they chase down a first Dutch top-flight crown in 18 years.
