Chelsea Draw 4-4 at Home to 9-Man Ajax in Champions League Thriller

Chelsea came back from three goals down to draw 4-4 against nine-man Ajax at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday and stay level with their Dutch guests at the top of UEFA Champions League Group H.

A frantic start in west London saw Tammy Abraham score an own-goal and Jorginho level from the penalty spot inside the opening five minutes.

Quincy Promes had a hand in forcing Ajax's first, but the Dutchman was well-placed to make it 2-1. Hakim Ziyech then forced a second own-goal off Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from a ridiculous free-kick to make it 3-1 before the break.
