Chelsea's Christian Pulisic Says He Missed Ajax Red Cards in 'Wild' UCL Draw

Chelsea playmaker Christian Pulisic has said he did not realise Ajax received two red cards in the space of a minute during Tuesday's thrilling 4-4 draw in the UEFA Champions League.

Ajax were 4-2 up at Stamford Bridge in the Group H clash when Daley Blind fouled Tammy Abraham.

Referee Gianluca Rocchi allowed play to continue, and Callum Hudson-Odoi's subsequent shot hit Joel Veltman's arm in the penalty box.

Rocchi pointed to the spot and then duly issued Blind and Veltman their second yellow cards, reducing Ajax to nine men.

Jorginho scored from the spot for the second time in the game to make it 4-3 with 19 minutes remaining, and Reece James equalised on 74 minutes before the video assistant referee ruled out Cesar Azpilicueta's winner:
