Raspadori Scores Twice As Napoli Thrash Ajax 6-1

Mohammed Kudus bagged the opening goal for the Dutch side but Giacomo Raspadori headed in an equaliser, Giovanni di Lorenzo put Napoli ahead and Piotr Zielinski made it 3-1 just before the break.

Raspadori curled in his second and then set up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score.

Ajax’s Dusan Tadic was sent off before Giovanni Simeone netted a sixth.

Napoli, who had a squad rebuild in the summer as youngsters replaced several veterans, are unbeaten in all competitions this season.

This was Ajax’s biggest European defeat, their heaviest defeat in any competition since 1964 and their joint largest home loss.
