#4 Flop: Hakim Ziyech

AFC Ajax v Chelsea FC: Group H - UEFA Champions League

Hakim Ziyech, who has been Ajax's talisman this season, didn't look at his best against Chelsea. The 26-year-old winger, who scored 2 goals and set up another 3 in this year's Champions League, failed to influence the game in a way he would have liked to.

The Morrocan failed to register a single shot on target during his time on the pitch against Chelsea. Moreover, the winger appeared to be selfish at times and tried to go for goal with his team-mates in a better positions to score. There were times when he did show his great range of passing, but other apart from the odd piece of skill, he had a poor game.


#3 Hit: Fikayo Tomori

Fikayo Tomori produced one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt against Ajax. The 21-year-old centre-back produced a valiant defensive performance at the Johan Cruyff Arena and came away with a clean sheet against a side who are known to be a free-scoring side.

Tomori did an exceptional job of keeping Hakim Ziyech out of the game and guarded well against opposition counter-attacks. The Englishman looked like a threat during Chelsea set-pieces and his physicality was an asset in both boxes.
