"We invested and played at a high pace," said a satisfied Erik ten Hag after the 0-5 victory over Fortuna Sittard. "We had a great attitude, I'm happy with that. It was less about finishing off the chances; those hundred percent chances have to be there."

One of the stars was Noussair Mazraoui, who managed to score a goal, just as he had against SC Cambuur. "Mazraoui is an example for many," concludes Ten Hag. "He's in top shape at the moment and he's getting the most out of it. That's nice to see.
