Justin Kluivert, the 17-year-old son of former Netherlands striker Patrick, made his Ajax debut in a 3-1 win at PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie on Sunday.

The young winger came on as a 39th-minute substitute, with the game tied at 0-0, for the injured Amin Younes where he filled in on the right flank.

Lasse Schone's 54th minute penalty put Ajax ahead before Hakim Ziyech doubled the lead just a minute later. The 23-year-old then went on to secure a brace with a goal ten minutes from time.

Nicolai Brock-Madsen pulled a goal back for the hosts, but the result means Ajax are still five points behind leaders Feyenoord in the Eredivisie standings, who beat Roda 2-0 on Saturday.

His father, Patrick, won two Eredivisie titles and a Champions League during his three-year stint at Ajax between 1994 and 1997.
