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.

Ansgar Knauff, Donyell Malen (N/R)
Knauff and Malen came on with 15 minutes to go but weren’t able to make much of an impact on the game.
