Chelseafc,the london club took on their visiting opponents at the stamford bridge, in one of their uefa champions league group ties, hoping to claim all three points just as they did weeks ago against the visiting dutch team afcajax.
They won the previous tie with a lone goal away from the bridge.
But all didn't seem to be going as planned in their home as the visiting dutch side led the tie by a two goal margin during the halftime break.Two owngoals from tammy abraham(2min) and kepa arizzabalaga(35min) with quincy promes(20 min) adding one for the dutch side,they were 2 goals up by halftime.
Donny van de beek again found the back of the net for the dutch side in the 55thminute. they were 3 goals up and the london club who now had 1 goal to their name(in the first half of the match) courtesy jorginho(5min) were three goals down in the 55th minute of the game.
The score was 1-4 in favour of the visitors by the 55th minute.
CHE 1-4 AJX
35mins down the clock,Chelseafc had to do something spectacular to turn this around...and that was just what happened.
From the 63rd minute to the 74th minute, it was all goals galore for the home side who had suddenly found their rythm and game plan back.
goals from azpilicueta(63 min),jorginho(71 min) and james(74 min) made sure the spoils were shared between the two clubs.
The home team even seemed to have won it in the 78th minute but the goal by azpilicueta was ruled out..it could have been salt to upon injury for the visiting dutch side who were 2 men down.
Fulltime scores CHE 4- 4 AJX.
WHAT A MATCH!!!
