Hakim Ziyech provided three assists as Ajax defeated PEC Zwolle 4-2 in Friday’s Dutch Eredivisie game at Mac3Park Stadion.
After Quincy Promes opened the scoring for Erik ten Hag’s men in the sixth minute, Ziyech then set up the 27-year-old for his second goal five minutes later.
The Morocco international was again at his best when he found David Neres with a fine pass in the 20th minute to increase the Sons of the Gods’ lead.
John Stegeman’s men attempted to launch a comeback with goals from Gustavo Hamer and Mustafa Saymak but Ziyech was at hand to set up Neres to seal his side’s victory moments before the end of the game.
