Chelsea fought back from 4-1 down to draw 4-4 in a Champions League thriller against Ajax.

Tammy Abraham scored an early own goal, Jorginho equalised with a penalty but Quincy Promes then headed Ajax ahead.

Kepa Arrizabalaga's own goal and Donny van de Beek's low strike gave Ajax a three-goal lead.

Cesar Azpilicueta pulled one back, Ajax had Daley Blind and Joel Veltman sent off before Jorginho's second penalty and Reece James' effort made it 4-4.

Chelsea thought they had grabbed a sensational victory when Azpilicueta smashed a loose ball into the net but the goal was ruled out after a video assistant referee review showed the ball had struck Abraham's arm before falling for the Blues captain.
