Chelsea made light work of Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday night, crushing the out-of-form Dutch giants at Stamford Bridge in a 5–1 scoreline.
What was particularly remarkable about the game was the nature of the Chelsea side that did it. Enzo Maresca made 10 changes from the team that started the weekend’s Premier League win over Nottingham Forest, with only 21-year-old Romeo Lavia keeping his place.
