A Sandro Calabro header two minutes from time gave lowly VVV-Venlo a 2-2 home draw with 10-man Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch league.

The visitors took the lead in the 37th minute when Gabri set up Luis Suarez but Venlo equalised in the 57th with a brilliant 45 metre lob from Rachid Ofrany after Ajax keeper Maarten Stekelenburg had cleared.

Klaas Jan Huntelaar put Ajax back in front with 13 minutes remaining before George Ogararu was sent off for a second booking and Calabro headed in the equaliser.

Feyenoord, away at Heerenveen later on today, are top with 35 points after 16 matches, two above PSV Eindhoven, who host NAC Breda. Ajax are third with 33 points after 17 matches.
