Things are not going well for Ajax this season. Neither in the Eredivisie nor in the Champions League. The latest example is today's start to the match against Chelsea. It took just under 17 minutes for things to go wrong again.

Kenneth Taylor first showed a bit of skill, but then stumbled over the ball, and his rescue attempt ended with a horror tackle against Chelsea's Buonanotte.

Referee Felix Zwayer initially assessed the action with a yellow card, but was then advised by the VAR to correct it. Consequently, the Dutchman saw a straight red. To make matters worse, Marc Guiu nailed the resulting free kick into the net. Moises Caicedo increased the lead to 2-0 shortly after.

Former Bundesliga striker Wout Weghorst managed to score a goal to bring Ajax closer, but things continued to go downhill. Before the break, Enzo Fernandes and Estevao converted two more penalties for Chelsea.
