Video: Ajax's Joel Veltman uses injured team-mate to mug off opponent

Using a player down on the ground to skip around an opposing defender could either be seen as a cheeky piece of skill... or just a downright dirty bit of skullduggery. 

Ajax defender Joel Veltman decided he didn’t care what he'd be called after performing the move against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday.

With Veltman’s team-mate Bertrand Traore down on the ground, he pretended to stop play to allow his injured team-mate some treatment, only to play on while Sparta's stoppers had switched off.

Ajax won the game 2-0, with their fifth consecutive victory moving them back to within five points of rivals Feyenoord atop the Eredivisie table.
