Chelsea fans will love how Frank Lampard reacted to Kurt Zouma's incredible dribble against Ajax

Kurt Zouma almost scored one of the goals of the season during the 4-4 draw with Ajax, and everyone watching enjoyed the moment, not least the defender's head coach Frank Lampard.

In the second half, the Blues centre-back 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 straight after, the camera panned to Lampard on the bench for his reaction, and a big smirk could clearly be seen on the Chelsea head coach's face.

Speaking after the game, 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."
