Brighton boosted their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the Europa League with a comfortable win over a youthful Ajax side in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

Ansu Fati opened the scoring for the visitors with a low effort into the bottom-left corner after collecting Simon Adingra\u2019s pass.<\/p>\n

Ansu then turned provider, as Ivory Coast winger Adringa doubled Brighton\u2019s lead with a rising close-range effort.<\/p>\n

Brian Brobbey\u2019s volley, which hit both posts, was the closest Ajax came to scoring.<\/p>\n

Roberto de Zerbi\u2019s side move on to seven points and could clinch their place in the next phase of the tournament if they win at AEK Athens in their penultimate Group B fixture.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really delighted for the result, for the performance, for our fans,\u201d said De Zerbi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m satisfied, but I expect always more and more. For Ansu, he played very well in the first half but after the second goal I think he could play better. He could score the third goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ajax, whose starting line-up had an average age of 21.6 years, are bottom of the group with just two points from four matches.<\/p>\n
