Chelsea Teens Make CL History in 5-1 Win

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea beat Ajax 5-1 with Marc Guiu (19), Estevao Willian (18) and Tyrique George (19) becoming the first trio of teenagers to score for one side in a single Champions League match. The game turned in the 17th minute when Ajax captain Kenneth Taylor was sent off for a reckless challenge, after which Moises Caicedo's long-range deflected strike and three first-half penalties (Enzo Fernández and Estevao for Chelsea; Wout Weghorst for Ajax) produced a chaotic five-goal first half. Manager Enzo Maresca heavily used youth, making multiple halftime changes, introducing 17-year-old Reggie Walsh on his Champions League debut and using all five substitutes by the 65th minute. The win gives Chelsea momentum as they seek to recover in the group, while Ajax sit bottom with three defeats. The result highlighted Chelsea's youthful depth and Ajax's disciplinary and defensive problems in European competition.
