@wcxpert: Chelsea 5-1 Ajax #chelsea #ajax #ucl #uefachampionsleague #championsleague Chelsea delivered a commanding 5–1 victory over Ajax at Stamford Bridge in their 2025–26 UEFA Champions League group stage match. The Blues capitalised on an early red card to Ajax's Kenneth Taylor in the 17th minute, which shifted the momentum in Chelsea's favour. Marc Guiu opened the scoring shortly after, and Moisés Caicedo doubled the lead with a deflected long-range shot. Ajax briefly responded with a penalty from Wout Weghorst, but Chelsea regained control with two additional penalties converted by Enzo Fernández and Estêvão before halftime. Tyrique George sealed the win early in the second half, completing a dominant performance by Chelsea's youthful squad. This victory marked Chelsea's first five-goal haul in a Champions League match since 2017 and showcased the club's emerging talent. Estêvão, at 18 years and 181 days, became the youngest player to score for Chelsea in the competition and the third-youngest penalty scorer in Champions League history. The match also featured the introduction of 17-year-old Reggie Walsh, Chelsea's youngest-ever Champions League player. Chelsea's comprehensive win moves them to 11th in the group standings, with six points, while Ajax remains at the bottom with no points from their opening three matches. The Blues will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next Champions League fixture against Qarabağ on November 5.
