DANISH WONDERKID KASPER Dolberg came off the bench to net his first two goals of the Erdevisie season as Ajax romped to a 4-1 victory over Dutch champions Feyenoord at De Kuip.
With his first brace since March, the 20-year-old rediscovered his goalscoring touch just three weeks before he’ll likely line out for Denmark against Ireland in the World Cup play-offs.
The powerful frontman had previously gone 13 club games without scoring – his sole goal since the final day of the 2016/17 domestic campaign coming for Denmark away to Kazakhstan in June.
Today, however, he put a further dent in Feyenoord’s title defence with two fine finishes after coming on for fellow goalscorer Klaas Jan Huntelaar in the 71st minute.
We need a lad like Dolberg. Absolutely lethal & makes incredibly smart runs. His awareness for his age is outstandin pic.twitter.com/JDOszGuZMs
