Eredivisie: Ajax Slump To Bottom Of League After Heavy Defeat

Ajax slipped to the bottom of the Eredivisie table on Sunday after blowing a halftime lead in a 5-2 thrashing by PSV Eindhoven.

The record 36-time Dutch champions suffered a fifth straight defeat in the Dutch top flight for the first time in their history.

Ajax had gradually fallen from grace since the exit of former coach Erik ten Hag to Manchester United in 2022, before falling apart this season.

A statement on the Ajax supporters' club website read: "Ajax is now last in the Eredivisie with only five measly points . That hurts a lot. Still, we can draw some strength from the first half in Eindhoven. The players showed that they can indeed play football. Hopefully, that will give us some confidence in the coming weeks, where Ajax will have to climb out of the depths."
