The New Saints break Ajax's 44-year world record after Welsh club win 27th straight game

Welsh Premier League champions The New Saints have broken Ajax's 44-year world record for the most consecutive wins. 

The great Ajax team of Johan Cruyff, Johan Neeskens and Arie Haan won 26 consecutive games in 1972 at a time when the Dutch club were dominating European football. 

But The New Saints - who are currently 21 points clear at the top of the Welsh Premier League - eclipsed that by winning 2-0 at Cefn Druids on Friday night. 

The Guinness Book of Records have already verified that TNS will remove Ajax from the record books.
