Marco Reus (7/10)

Reus tucked home the penalty to give Borussia Dortmund the lead in the first half. He also made a vital interception at the hour mark to prevent a clear chance for Haller and worked really hard defensively. But he will feel as though he should have done a better job of preventing Antony from delivering the cross for Ajax’s equaliser.

Thorgan Hazard (6/10)

Hazard did well to set up a good chance for Bellingham early in the game. He was forced to come off after Mats Hummels’ red card, with Marin Pongracic replacing him.

Steffen Tigges (5/10)

Making his first ever Champions League start, Tigges never really got into the game. He was also asked to help out defensively, which he did on a number of occasions before being replaced by Donyell Malen.

Marin Pongracic (5/10)

Pongracic came on to help shore up the back-line after Hummels’ red card. He inadvertently headed Antony’s cross into the path of Dusan Tadic before the equaliser.

Felix Passlack (4/10)

Passlack never really looked comfortable against the in-form Antony. And all three of Ajax’s goals came from his flank after Passlack replaced the injured Marius Wolf.

Knauff and Malen came on with 15 minutes to go but weren’t able to make much of an impact on the game.
