THE FUSE

Míchel Sánchez was delighted with Ajax's 2-0 win over Atalanta in the Conference League. His side dominated for long spells at the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Thursday evening, but had to wait until the closing stages for decisive goals from Tolu Arokodare and Abdellah Ouazane. The Spanish coach felt their first European win of the season was more than deserved.
