Chelsea and Ajax played a thrilling football match on Tuesday evening, November 05, which ended 4-4 at fulltime. The Dutch side were reduced to nine men after the referee gave red cards to Joel Veltman and Daley Blind. Ajax were gifted an opener by Tammy Abraham's own goal, however, Jorginho scored a penalty two minutes later to make it 1-1. Quincy Promes, another own goal by goalkeeper Kepa and a Van de Beek goal gave the visitors a 4-1 lead at half-time.
Frank Lampard's side made a remarkable comeback in the second half via Azpilicuetta, another Jorginho penalty and a Reece James equaliser.
Football Twitter was not able to handle the excitement and the twists in the match and a lot to talk about.

Ajax put more of an emphasis on playing attacking football whilst clinging onto a 4-4 draw with nine men than Arsenal do at home to mid-table sides lmao.

Is there any game more beautiful than football?..the rollercoaster emotions....Well, it's always easier to comment when you are not on the losing side!! Dont question the red cards & the penalties..they are part of the game #CHEAJA
I’m a Chelsea fan but I have to say that Ajax with 9 men are more dangerous than a Manchester United Team with 11 men.
