Ajax away goal achievement: Unlocked.

In line with center back Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose inexplicably left Van de Beek in a bid to jump a pass that wasn’t coming through his lane.

Maybe he was trying to draw someone offside, but the line didn’t move with him and Ajax has the advantage in North London.

Clever little fake shot by Van de Beek to freeze Hugo Lloris.
