Since September's scintillating opening day success, when Ajax kicked off their Group C campaign with a 5-1 win at Sporting thanks to Sebastien Haller's four-goal haul, they have continued that momentum to confirm Champions League progress with a game to spare.

The first player since Ajax legend Marco van Basten to score four times on his competition debut, Haller was again at his potent best last month, when the Amsterdammers secured top spot with a 2-1 comeback win at Besiktas. The Ivorian's second-half brace as a substitute proved enough to see off the Istanbul outfit, and helped Ajax win their opening five group games for the first time.

Erik ten Hag's relentless team also sit top of the Eredivisie after 15 matches, following a 5-0 victory over Willem II last Thursday, when they enjoyed three-quarters of the possession and did not concede a single shot on target. That takes their league tally to a staggering 48 goals this term - a rate of over three per game.

自去年9月阿贾克斯凭借哈勒的四球绝杀以5比1战胜竞技开始C组比赛以来，他们在离欧冠还有一场比赛的情况下继续保持着这种势头。

哈勒是继阿贾克斯传奇球星范巴斯滕之后首位在比赛首秀中打入四球的球员，上个月他再次发挥出了自己的最佳状态，阿姆斯特丹人在贝西克塔斯2:1逆转锁定榜首。科特迪瓦人在下半场替补出场时的进球足以让伊斯坦布尔的球队出线，并帮助阿贾克斯首次赢得小组赛开局五场比赛的胜利。

埃里克·哈格(Erik ten Hag)的无情的球队在15场比赛后也稳居西班牙甲级联赛榜首，上周四他们以5比0的比分战胜威廉二世(Willem II)，当时他们享受着四分之三的控球时间，没有一次射正。这使得他们本赛季的联赛进球数达到了惊人的48个，场均进球超过3个。
