LONDON :Chelsea's youthful side hammered Ajax Amsterdam 5-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday in an eventful game that included three goals from teenagers, three penalties and a red card, under pouring rain at Stamford Bridge.

Ajax's night turned sour in the 17th minute when captain Kenneth Taylor was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Facundo Buonanotte after referee Felix Zwayer consulted the pitchside monitor and changed his original yellow card to red.

A minute later, following the resulting free kick, 19-year-old Marc Guiu knocked the ball into the net from close range latching on to a Wesley Fofana cross.

Moises Caicedo made it two in the 29th minute with an audacious low shot from 30 metres that took a deflection into the net.
