Ajax defeated FC Emmen 4-0 on Sunday for matchday 31 of the Eredivisie at the Amsterdam Arena with three games left of the regular season. With this victory the Dutch giants won their 35th league title and manager Ten Hag earned a contract renewal.

Second title of the season for Ajax
Last season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, so no one claimed the league title. But after over a year the Dutch’s have a new champion and Ajax will hold on to that title for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
This is Ajax’ second title of the current season, because two weeks ago they defeated Vitesse Arnhem 2-1 in the cup final to secure a domestic double. The Dutch giants have become the best team in the past decade, because in total they have won the league title five out of the last 10 seasons.
