The striker was subdued in celebration in Overijssel. "I've had a good time here. But I did find the match to be a laborious, more than anything. On the pitch, I didn't feel it was really done, which is why I was so subdued. But I definitely was happy. For sure."
Ultimately, Ajax just made it difficult for themselves in the Asito Stadion, Weghorst thought. "We were in control in many parts of the match. It was only on us that we kept losing that control. We lost the ball too easily and sometimes were out of position, the distances were too great. For example in the 3-3 goal for Heracles. We need to look at that critically."
