Ajax suffer worst Eredivisie defeat EVER as Feyenoord romp to 6-0 De Klassieker victory in shockingly one-sided game - with Jordan Henderson's side also equalling unwanted club record

Ajax suffered a shock defeat at the hands of rivals Feyenoord on Sunday as they went down 6-0 in De Klassieker in the league. This was their worst-ever defeat in the Eredivisie, with the last time they lost by a margin of five goals or more in the Dutch top-flight coming back when they were beaten 9-4 by De Kuip in 1964.

Igor Paixao and Yankuba Minteh scored a brace each while David Hancko and Quinton Timber found the back of the net in their team's comprehensive win at Feyenoord Stadium. Feyenoord managed a total of 31 shots in the game to Ajax's one as they dominated proceedings from start to finish. This also marked Ajax's 14th defeat in all competitions as they equalled their previous record for the most losses in a single season.

England international Jordan Henderson was not named in the matchday squad as he is still recovering from an injury that prevented him from participating in the Three Lions' friendly matches against Brazil and Belgium last month.

John van 't Schip's side will be next seen in action on April 14 as they take on FC Twente in a crucial league clash. Ajax are now down in sixth in the Eredivisie table and won't be playing Champions League football next term.
