#3 Chelsea's sloppiness at the back
Since the start of the season, Chelsea have had a huge share of problems in defending crosses, especially with set pieces.
As the second half wore on, these issues rose to the surface, starting with Marcos Alonso losing out to Dusan Tadic in a dangerous position. The biggest chance of the half fell to Alvarez, who struck the outside of the post with his header.
It was a fine delivery from Promes, but Chelsea should have won the first ball and dealt with it on the far post all day long. Kepa was clearly beaten, and somehow, Ajax couldn't open their account.
Ever since, the Dutch giants opted to deliver the ball in front and not around the Chelsea centre-halves. Just about until the 65th minute or so, they enjoyed a serious spell when it looked like they could break the deadlock.
Chelsea though controlled the game just a little better in the second 45 minutes. They too scuffed a couple of vital chances, where the final ball was all that was needed to cut open Ajax's defence.
