Ajax have one foot in the Europa League final a surprisingly comfortable 4-1 win over French giants Lyon.
The Dutch powerhouse were rated as outsiders going into the tie, but they produced a brilliant display in the Amsterdam Arena to put themselves in the driving seat.
Chelsea loanee Bertrand Traore headed Ajax in-front after 25-minutes before highly-rated forward Kasper Dolberg doubled before the break.
Amin Younes claimed a third not long after the break before Lyon – who opted against starting star striker Alexandre Lacazette due to a hamstring issue – pulled on back just after the hour through Mathieu Valbuena.
Lacazette was then brought on, but he had little impact as Ajax added a fourth through Traore again.
Ajax have now been shortened to 2/1 to lift the trophy, whilst Lyon – who were second favourites – are now as long as 12/1.
