Parrott enjoyed his return to form after a dry spell in front of goal. “I needed that goal,” said the striker, of his opener. “Those are the best goals, when you’re in the right position.
“I scored against Fortuna, but I haven’t scored much in the previous matches. I didn’t score against Volendam on Saturday either. I always want to score, so it’s nice to get an easy goal.”
The 23-year-old added Ajax’s second on the half hour, latching onto goalkeeper Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro’s long pass to finish cooly. “We talked about it beforehand,” said Parrott. “He played a really good ball. I’m very happy with this goal. I think it’s a beautiful goal.”
Of completing another hat trick following his Ireland heroics in Budapest, Parrot said: “It’s very special. A hat trick is the best feeling you can have as a striker.”
