Ajax v AEK Athens - UEFA Champions League Group E

It is not every day that a left-back gets on the scoresheet twice where one of the goals is a ridiculous left-footed volley from an impossible-looking angle. Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico became the first defender to score a double for the Dutch giants since Frank de Boer back in 1995, a stat which I'm sure he'll be proud of. The Argentine's two goals, saw his side record a dominant victory in their opening Champions League game.
