Chelsea 4-4 Ajax: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Champions League 2019-20 

#3 Ajax's fourth goal exemplifies how well they kept the ball

Young Donny van de Beek proved how clinical he can be from realistic positions

Ajax's fourth goal simply summed up their intensity, class and fearless nature, regardless of the stature of the opposition.

It might have gone unnoticed, but the move transpired off the back of a Chelsea attack that initially, had the Ajax defenders backpedalling. And all of a sudden, an attack rose off Azpilicueta's side.

A half-hearted challenge from Tomori saw Ziyech retain the ball, following which the Moroccan passed it to an unmarked Van de Beek, who took a touch and dispatched it past a hapless Kepa.

It signified a host of fundamentals followed by the Dutch powerhouse. The transition from defence to attack was staggeringly quick, while that extra yard and muscle to keep the ball was clearly visible.

Van de Beek, as often as we've seen of him, occupied a promising position inside the box and skipped his marker with aplomb. How Chelsea awarded him that much time and space inside the box is subject to severe scrutiny, but credit the youngster for a spectacular swatted finish.
