Falling to their first defeat of their Europa League campaign, Celta Vigo were unable to dig themselves out of a three goal hole, succumbing to Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena despite fighting back to make it 3-2.
Kasper Dolberg put in a masterful performance, showing how his technical flair and tactical maturity is far beyond his years.
Dolberg, Hakim Ziyech and Amin Younes gave the Dutch a solid 3-0 lead, but Iago Aspas would lead the comeback effort by providing an assist for John Guidetti and scoring a goal of his own.
Though facing a talented team with a European pedigree, it is also true that Eduardo 'Toto' Berrizzo rested a lot of his main XI for the weekend's LaLiga clash against Valencia.
