Chelsea Claim Dominance Over Ajax

 

Chelsea showcased their attacking prowess in a resounding 5-1 victory over Ajax in the UEFA Champions League. 

The Blues quickly capitalized on the numerical advantage, with Marc Guiu scoring his first goal of the season just a minute after Taylor's dismissal. Moises Caicedo further solidified Chelsea's dominance with a deflected strike from distance, leaving Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer with no chance.

Wout Weghorst pulled one back for Ajax from the penalty spot, but Enzo Fernandez and Estevao also netted from the spot for Chelsea, making it 4-1. Substitute Tyrique George added a fifth goal in the second half, scoring with a deflected strike after Andrey Santos' assist.

The win marked a significant milestone for Chelsea, breaking their own Champions League record twice in the same match. Guiu became Chelsea's youngest Champions League goalscorer at 19 years, nine months, and 18 days old, while Estevao's goal made him the new record holder at 18 years, five months, and 28 days old.

The win moves Chelsea up the Champions League standings, and they will look to maintain their momentum in the competition.
