Mohammed Kudus might find himself sitting on the bench a little longer after Ghana hopeful Brian Brobbey scored twice yet again as Ajax won.
Brobbey scored twice again after taking Kudus’ spot
Ghana star has played bit-part roles in last two games
23-year-old has a tough job winning his place back
WHAT HAPPENED? Kudus had taken Brobbey’s spot in Ajax’s attack and made it his own, scoring in five straight games, but after being dropped to the bench in the last two games in favour of the 20-year-old, the forward has responded by scoring four in that period.
Brobbey netted his second consecutive brace in Saturday’s victory after Steven Berghuis had given Ajax a 2-0 lead early on, with Kudus getting seven minutes off the bench, having been given 15 in last weekend’s encounter in which he scored the sixth goal in a 7-1 win.
The two are in fierce competition and Brobbey had explained why he had no problems with Kudus starting ahead of him, while expecting an extended run in the team after finding the target last week.
