After suffering five consecutive defeats in the Dutch Eredivisie, Ajax Amsterdam made it two wins in the space of three days on Sunday as they thrashed\u00a0SC Heerenveen 4-1 at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the score at 2-1, Super Eagles hopeful Chuba Akpom came off the bench in the 73rd minute to inspire the Amsterdam club to a big win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Arsenal academy product opened his Ajax account with a headed goal in their 2-0 win over FC Volendam\u00a0in a rescheduled game played on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Against \u00a0SC Heerenveen, Akpom\u00a0headed the 36-time Dutch champions\u00a0into a bigger lead with five minutes left on the clock and in doing so, matched the feat of former Ajax Amsterdam stars\u00a0Davinson S\u00e1nchez, Oleguer, Julien Escud\u00e9 and John Heitinga.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nThis century, the PFA Championship Players’ Player of the Year for the 2022-2023 campaign is the fifth Ajax player \u00a0whose first two Eredivisie goals for the club were both headers, according to the statisticians at OPTA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Akpom wrapped up the scoring in the second minute of stoppage time with a left-footed finish from close range.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
There had been doubts about the pedigree of Akpom\u00a0in his first two months as an Ajax player but the 28-year-old has shown that he is nearing his best level again with three goals in twenty seven minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not since April 2023 during his Middlesbrough days had he scored in two consecutive matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
