Marc-Andre ter Stegen is once again regularly showing his class at Ajax Amsterdam. Teammate Tolu Arokodare has now praised the goalkeeper in a rather unusual way.
Ajax narrowly reclaimed second place in the Eredivisie following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar at the Johan Cruijff Arena. Tolu Arokodare's first-half header proved decisive as the Amsterdammers ended a 12-match winless run against their bogey team despite losing Julian Brandt to injury.
Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa secured a vital 1-1 draw against PSV with a trademark curling strike in Eindhoven. Captain Luciano Valente revealed that a blunt half-time team talk inspired the league leaders' dramatic second-half tactical revival.
His tally of zero assists had been the only statistical blemish on Julian Brandt’s strong first season so far at Ajax. On Sunday, he broke his duck in that regard too.
