    Chelsea fight back to draw with nine-man Ajax in eight-goal thriller

    Chelsea and Ajax shared the spoils in a remarkable Champions League encounter with eight goals scored and two red cards shown at Stamford Bridge.

    But for Jorginho’s fourth-minute equaliser from the spot, it was all about Ajax in the first half and their three goals scored from just one shot on target.

    Qunicy Promes’ cross was flicked in by Tammy Abraham just two minutes in, and after Promes then nodded Ajax back in front, Hakim Ziyech’s wicked free-kick from near the corner flag hit the crossbar and smacked goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the face before going in.
