The visitors mirrored their 2-0 victory at the Amex on October 26 with this victory in Amsterdam thanks to goals from Ansu Fati and Simon Adingra.

Overall it was a superb performance from Brighton who were in desperate need of a win to boost morale as the side are without a victory in the Premier League since late September.

The Seagulls are currently top of their Europa League with seven points while Ajax, who have had a disappointing start to their league season winning just three from their first 10 games, remain bottom with two points.

The Dutchman looked comfortable on the ball, even when he was put in awkward situations. He showed glimpses of a superb player who could be vital in the near future. (Photo: (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images))

The Barcelona loanee broke the deadlock for the Seagulls with a calm finish while through on goal and assisted Simon Adingra for the second. He could have easily grabbed a third if it wasn’t for a fantastic tackle. (Photo: (Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images))
