Watch Ajax star Martinez hilariously ‘rewind’ as he realises he accidentally rolled off pitch in time-wasting theatrics

AJAX star Lisandro Martinez was brilliantly caught on camera trying to con the ref as his side beat PSV 2-1 on Sunday.

With Ajax leading in added time Martinez went down hurt under a challenge from Phillipp Mwene.

Martinez immediately exaggerated the damage done by the tackle by rolling on the ground afterwards.

But after realising his rolling had carried him off the pitch Martinez quickly rolled back the other way - to ensure he remained active in play.

That way, Martinez could receive treatment to delay the game - much to PSV frustrations.

It was a brilliant piece of time-wasting by the defender even though the affair was rather embarrassing.

Ajax held on to record a valuable win which allowed them to overtake PSV at the top of the Eredivisie - they now lead their title rivals by two points.

Erik ten Hag is aiming to win his third title in charge of Ajax, having won Eredivisie last year and in 2019.

It could be his final season in charge of the club too with Manchester United keen on appointing him.

Ten Hag is believed to be one name on a four-man shortlist as United step up their chase to appoint a permanent manager.

The Dutch manager is still looking at ways to improve his squad however and Christian Eriksen has been back training with the club in recent days.
