"A much-changed Chelsea side secured the second win of their Champions League campaign with a dominant 5-1 victory over 10-man Ajax. The Dutch side were hugely up against it when Kenneth Taylor was shown a straight red card, with the Blues punishing them with goals from Mac Guiu, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Estevao and Tyrique George, with Wout Weghorst scoring the only goal for the visitors."
"The first chance for the Blues against a disciplined away side came 13 minutes in when Guiu was found with a lovely ball over the top but veteran goalkeeper Remko Pasveer was alert enough to come off his line to thwart the young striker, who was making his first Chelsea start since January."
"The complexion of the game changed significantly a few minutes later when Taylor was shown a straight red card for a high challenge onto the ankle of Fernando Buonanotte. Seconds later, Ajax's misery was compounded when Wesley Fofana headed the ball across goal for the unmarked Guiu to comfortably guide the hosts in front, signalling what looked a long night ahead for the visitors. Barely 10 minutes later, Chelsea were in full control when the bright Jamie Gittens found Moises Caicedo, who let fly from distance before a deflection wrongfooted Pasveer to double their advantage."
