On a dramatic night at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea secured a thrilling 4-4 draw against Ajax in a Group H Champions League match on November 5, 2019.
The match saw the Blues rally from a three-goal deficit to salvage a point, with Ajax having to play two players less in the latter stages after Daley Blind and Joel Veltman were sent off.
Chelsea, who were looking to complete a double over Ajax after a 1-0 win in the Netherlands two weeks prior, found themselves trailing 4-1 within 55 minutes.
However, a second-half resurgence saw the home side pull back with goals from César Azpilicueta and Jorginho, who was awarded two penalties for handball by Veltman and Kepa Arrizabalaga respectively.
Reece James netted the equaliser in the 74th minute, but Azpilicueta's potential winner was ruled out for handball by VAR, securing a vital point for Ajax.
