Chelsea matched Liverpool’s scoreline with a resounding 5–1 demolition of Ajax in London.
The match turned dramatically after an early red card for Ajax’s Kenneth Taylor, but the Blues’ youthful brilliance stole the show.
Brazilian teenager Estêvão and fellow academy products combined fluidly, marking a rare night where three teenage players found the net in one Champions League fixture.
The victory not only boosted Chelsea’s qualification hopes but also underlined Enzo Maresca’s successful integration of emerging talents into the first team.
