Newcastle United loanee bags brilliant brace for Feyenoord as Arne Slot’s side claim historic victory over Ajax

Feyenoord claimed an unbelievable 6-0 victory over Ajax on Sunday, making Eredivisie history as the Amsterdam club fell to their biggest-ever defeat in the competition. For Feyenoord, it was their biggest-ever victory over Ajax as they registered 30 goal attempts to the visitors’ one attempt towards goal. One of the stars of the match was Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh, who has been remarkable ever since making the move to Rotterdam last summer. The Gambia international bagged a brilliant brace, scoring in both halves of the match.

Yankuba Minteh, 19, has netted nine times already this season whilst providing four assists in the Eredivisie.
