AMSTERDAM, Dec 21 (Reuters) - -
Ajax Amsterdam, still smarting from a shock 4-0 Dutch Cup thrashing by
Vitesse Arnhem on Thursday, left it late before finally easing past
struggling Excelsior 2-0 in the league on Sunday.
The champions were frustrated by sixth from bottom Excelsior until substitutes Mike van der Hoorn and Richairo Zivkovic scored in the last seven minutes.
Ajax had most of the possession but were short on ideas against a resolute home defence.
Van der Hoorn broke the deadlock when he fired in a loose
ball and Zivkovic secured the points with his first top flight goal
since joining from Groningen in the summer.
Ajax are second with 39 points from 17 matches, four
points behind PSV Eindhoven who crushed Go Ahead Eagles 5-0 on Saturday.
Feyenoord are third on 31 points after they won 1-0 at NAC Breda on Sunday.
Colin Kazim-Richards snatched the only goal of the game
just after the half-hour mark, his seventh in the league this season.
