At the start of the match, the Dutch powerhouses were leading Besiktas by a considerable margin.

Kian Fitz-Jim, Mika Godts, and Kenneth Taylor scored the first goals, bringing the score to 3-0.

Before being hauled out by other Ajax players, Henderson, 34, remained enraged as he yelled at teammate Traore.

I think the midfielder had a problem with the manner the player tackled Besiktas midfielder Gedson Fernandes.

Henderson was still spotted ranting angrily to himself after he had departed.

After the incident, Ajax kept up their strong play, and Godts’ second goal in the 73rd minute ensured the win.

In light of the new Europa League rules, the three points they earned were quite valuable.

After winning 4-0, Ajax is now top of the rankings with the biggest goal differential.

He moved out of Saudi Arabia and joined Ajax in January.

After leaving Liverpool, the English player moved to the Middle East, where he signed Al-Ettifaq in the summer of 2023.

The player’s stint was short-lived, though, as he returned to Europe during the next transfer window.

Rumour had it that Henderson would be moving out of Amsterdam in the summer.

However, he chose to stay, and he is the club captain at the moment.
