LONDON: Chelsea battled to an incident-packed 4-4 draw with nine-man Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the hosts fighting back from 4-1 down after scoring two own goals.
The result left both teams and Valencia, who beat bottom side Lille 4-1, on seven points at the top of the Group H standings in the battle for places in the last 16. But Ajax, who had won their last five Champions League away games, looked dangerous going forward. They were rewarded in the 20th minute when Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech spun an inch-perfect cross into the area and Promes dived low to head home.
The Dutch side were giving a masterclass in attractive, high tempo, attacking football and Chelsea were on the ropes. Jorginho scored his second penalty in the 71st and Chelsea's substitute defender Reece James cut through a depleted defence to fire home an angled shot three minutes later to make it 4-4.
