Bakayoko features in Walsall’s 2-0 drubbing over Ajax
Sierra Leonean striker Amadou Bakayoko was in Dean Keates’ squad, as the English League One side Walsall FC beat European giants Ajax at the Banks’ Stadium.
Walsall summer signing Andy Cook scored a brace for the Saddlers against Ajax in Thursday’s pre-season warm-up tie.
The striker netted in each half to sink the European heavyweight, who next week will take part in the second qualifying round in the Champions League.
The host opened the score-line from in the 27 minutes as Cook planted a firm header into the bottom corner from Trialist A’s pinpoint cross.
He added his second with 19 minutes remaining after he controlled a Maz Kouhyar’s cross on his chest before steering a right-footed snap-shot in off the post.
Walsall’s Dean Keates was full of praise for his players.
A well-taken Andy Cook brace earned the Saddlers a 2-0 win against the Dutch giants – and Keates was pleased with his side’s performance.
“Full credit to the lads,” he said.
“Performance-wise, it’s progressively got better over the last five or six days.”
“Against Villa and Stoke we got pulled apart at times, there were too many gaps,” he told the club’s website.
