Ajax Amsterdam were crowned Dutch league champions in emphatic style on Sunday following a 4-0 home thrashing of lowly Emmen that gives them an unassailable lead and extends their record number of domestic championship wins to 35.
The victory moves Ajax to 79 points from 31 games, 15 ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven, who play later on Sunday at home to Heerenveen but have only four matches remaining.
Ajax retain the title they won two years ago after the championship was called off in the 2019-20 campaign due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
