Recap

Chelsea's eight-goal showcase at home to Ajax was a result both sets of fans are sure to remember for different reasons, a match that featured two penalties, two red cards and two disallowed goals.

Hakim Ziyech enjoyed a masterful performance—namely in the first half—and assisted three of Ajax's goals. Jorginho scored two penalties for Chelsea, while substitute Reece James became the club's youngest Champions League scorer with his 4-4 equaliser off the bench.

The turning point in the match came when Ajax had defenders Daley Blind and Joel Veltman both sent off for separate incidents in the same phase of play—a foul and hand-ball, respectively (U.S. viewers only):

Ajax did well to only concede four at Stamford Bridge in the end, and Eurosport's Dan Levene described a much tighter Group H landscape after Valencia hit from behind to thrash Lille 4-1:

Achraf Hakimi scored a brace for Dortmund as they also responded magnificently to falling behind at home to Inter, who were two to the good at the break thanks to strikes from Lautaro Martinez and Matias Vecino.

Julian Brandt levelled the scores at 2-2 before Jadon Sancho teed Hakimi up for his second, with the Black and Yellows having now won three matches in a row:

The same couldn't be said for Barcelona following their second draw in Group F. Slavia Prague may not have much chance of advancing to the round of 16, but the Czech club deserve huge praise for the adventurous approach they took at the Camp Nou, breathing some life into the pool.

Liverpool's home win over Genk wasn't the goal-fest some might have expected after they beat the same opponent 4-1 in Belgium, but it did include an encouraging winner for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain:

The Reds now lead Napoli by one point in Group E, and they have Norwegian Erling Haaland to thank after he converted from the spot to continue his remarkable scoring form in Europe, per Statman Dave:

Memphis Depay was among the scorers for Lyon as they beat Benfica in convincing fashion, with former Chelsea forward Bertrand Traore and defender Joachim Andersen also on the sheet.

The French club sit second in Group G and two points behind leaders Leipzig, who triumphed over hosts Zenit thanks to strikes from Diego Demme and Marcel Sabitzer.
