Ajax's Lasse Schone scored a brilliant half-volley to win their Eredivisie match against FC Utrecht after earlier missing a penalty.
With the score at 0-0 after an hour, Schone was given the chance to hand Ajax the lead at Stadion Galgenwaard from the penalty spot, but the 30-year-old Dane blazed his effort over the bar.
But with just seven minutes remaining, Schone rifled in a stunning half-volley from the edge of the box after a corner was cleared.

He celebrated by perking his ears to the home fans who had mocked him for the earlier penalty miss, and handed Ajax their first win at Utrecht in eight years.
The victory ensured Ajax kept in touch with league leaders Feyenoord, sitting five points behind their rivals with 19 games of the Eredivisie season gone.
Ajax host Den Haag next time out in the Eredivisie at the Amsterdam ArenA, live on Sky Sports Mix from 1.20pm on Sunday, January 29.
