New Chelsea signing Ziyech shines as Lassina Traore fires Ajax past RKC Waalwijk

Hakim Ziyech was in action while Lassina Traore found the back of the net to help Ajax thump RKC Waalwijk 3-0 in Sunday’s Dutch Eredivisie game at Johan Cruijff Arena.

Morocco international Ziyech, who signed a permanent deal with Premier League side Chelsea last week, was handed a starting role in the encounter.

The forward had a 72% successful pass rate, completed two dribbles and struck two shots, with one hitting the target before he was replaced in the 46th minute.
