'Better than Willian' - Chelsea fans loved what one player did during 4-4 draw against Ajax

Chelsea fans took to social media after Kurt Zouma nearly scored an audacious solo goal during the 4-4 draw with Ajax.

In the second half, the Blues defender picked the ball up deep in his own half before embarking on a long dribble which saw him beat four Ajax players.

Zouma reached the Dutch side's penalty area and performed a stepover to beat the defender, before blazing his shot high and wide.

And Chelsea supporters were quick to react on Twitter, lauding the defender for his near-incredible goal.

Speaking after the game, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was asked if he was disappointed or relieved at a result which leave the Blues level with Valencia and Ajax on seven points.

"Both," he said.

"I felt at half-time that the few times we conceded was a mix of sloppiness and bad fortune. I felt we were always in it. We are probably a bit disappointed not to win the last ten minutes.

"It is tough, this group was always going to be tight. We are in it, we have two games left and have to focus on what it is. Valencia away and Lille here.

"I felt we could have won the game as well. It is always difficult to go away, Valencia had a great result tonight."
