Ajax 0-1 Chelsea: Hits and Flops | UEFA Champions League 2019/20

#2 Flop: Tammy Abraham

Chelsea Training Session

Tammy Abraham, who has been Chelsea's best player so far this season, didn't enjoy the best of nights at the Johan Cruyff Arena. The 22-year-old, who has scored 8 goals so far this season, was uncharacteristically poor against Ajax.

The striker failed to impose himself physically on the game, losing 9 out of 15 duels. Moreover, the Englishman failed to register a shot on the opposition goal during his time on the pitch. His link-up play wasn't sharp enough and he lost the ball on more than a couple of occasions.

#1 Hit: Nicolas Tagliafico

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

Nicolas Tagliafico was arguably Ajax's best player on the pitch. The 27-year-old left-back not only produced a solid defensive display but also contributed heavily going forward. The Argentine full-back kept Willan on his toes and kept him out for the majority of the match. Tagliafico won 6 tackles during the game, which was more than any other player on the pitch.

Moreover, he was a constant threat going forward and helped to create an overload on Chelsea's right-hand side alongside Quincy Promes and Lisandro Martinez. The left-back completed 100% of his attempted dribbles and also created one goalscoring opportunity.
