​Chelsea loanee Traore scores double for Ajax in Europa League semi

Chelsea loanee Bertrand Traore scored a brace to help Ajax to a 4-1 win over Lyon in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.

The 21-year-old opened the scoring at Amsterdam ArenA in the 25th minute of the game as he flicked Hakim Ziyech's free-kick past Anthony Lopes.

Kasper Dolberg and Amin Younes had both scored during either side of the half-time before Mathieu Valbuena responded for the visiting side.

Only five minutes later, Traore completed the scoreline as he tapped home from Ziyech's cross.
