DANISH WONDERKID KASPER Dolberg came off the bench to net his first two goals of the Erdevisie season as Ajax romped to a 4-1 victory over Dutch champions Feyenoord at De Kuip.
With his first brace since March, the 20-year-old rediscovered his goalscoring touch just three weeks before he’ll likely line out for Denmark against Ireland in the World Cup play-offs.
The powerful frontman had previously gone 13 club games without scoring – his sole goal since the final day of the 2016/17 domestic campaign coming for Denmark away to Kazakhstan in June.
Today, however, he put a further dent in Feyenoord’s title defence with two fine finishes after coming on for fellow goalscorer Klaas Jan Huntelaar in the 71st minute.
We need a lad like Dolberg. Absolutely lethal & makes incredibly smart runs. His awareness for his age is outstandin pic.twitter.com/JDOszGuZMs

Starting to get sick of the excuses and constant attempts to put a positive spin on things. That Connacht team was good enough to grind out a win at home but they didn’t do it because if poor decision making and poor skills, coaches have to do better
When the language changes from ‘intent’ and ‘more clinical’ to ‘work on’, we know Ulster have won something.
