The crossbar may well still be shaking. What a strike from the Ghanaian midfielder.

No goalkeeper in the world would have had a chance of saving Kudus' rocket. It was perfectly placed.

That goal was Kudus' sixth goal of the season and his second in the Champions League campaign.

Ajax needed the attacking midfielder to step up and deliver after they sold many of their key players in the summer, including Antony and Sebastien Haller.

And to say he's delivering would be an understatement. He's had a stunning start to the season and is thriving after being given more game-time and responsibility.

There were no further goals in the remainder of the half as the two sides went into the break all-square.
