Frank Lampard Hails Senior Players After Chelsea's 4-4 UCL Draw with Ajax

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard hailed the character of his side after they came back from 4-1 down to draw 4-4 against Ajax on a memorable UEFA Champions League night at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Ajax were ahead inside two minutes in the Group H clash, but Jorginho equalised from the penalty spot two minutes later.

By the 55th minute, though, Chelsea were 4-1 behind after Quincy Promes' header, Kepa Arrizabalaga's own goal and Donny van de Beek's fine strike.

Cesar Azpilicueta pulled one back just after the hour before Jorginho slotted another penalty, and both Daley Blind and Joel Veltman were sent off for the visitors.
