A straight red card to Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor in the 17th minute for his reckless lunge on Facundo Buonanotte sparked a bonkers opening period in which a much-changed Chelsea side secured their second victory of the league phase.

Chelsea became the first team in the Champions League to have three teenagers score in one game when Marc Guiu, Estevao and Tyrique George all netted, with their starting XI having an average age of 22 years and 163 days - the second youngest in the competition's history.

Ajax were given a lifeline when Wout Weghorst tucked a penalty underneath Filip Jorgensen after Tosin had clumsily fouled Raul Moro.
