Reece James has pop at Chelsea fans who left early

Reece James has had a pop at those Chelsea fans which left last night's Champions League thriller with Ajax before the final whistle.

Frank Lampard's side came from 4-1 down to draw 4-4 with the Dutch champions, who had two men sent off in a bizarre second half incident that also saw the Blues awarded a penalty.

It was James who eventually scored the equaliser with a crisp low strike, but some Blues fans missed it, having left Stamford Bridge with their side looking beaten.

"That was a big mistake," James told BT Sport. "We livened up in the second half and managed to get back in the game.

"It was a crazy game, bringing it back to 4-4.

"They were hard to break down and we scored a few when they went down to nine men."
