Chelsea found themselves 3-1 down as the second half began and needed to start the half on the right foot to lift the Stamford Bridge crowd.
Zouma took it upon himself to do so and he dribbled past four Ajax players, produced a few stepovers before unfortunately firing his shot wide.
The crowd was loving it, and so was Frank Lampard! :sweat_smile:

Even Chelsea boss Frank Lampard couldn't resist cracking a smile at his defender's adventure into Ajax territory.
Fans on Twitter also loved Zouma's breathtaking run and effort to try and get Chelsea back in the game
This was mental :joy:

Oh Zouma...
Lampard can't even help himself from laughing.
I actually love that from Zouma. Give the team a boost of life.

"That can't be Zouma running with the ball like a star striker, can it?"
Zouma shoots it into outer space.....
"Yep, that's Zouma."

Impressively, Zouma completed 100% of his take-ons in the game and four of them came from that one dribble forward.
Fantastic stuff from the 25-year-old who has established himself at Chelsea this season following a successful loan period at Everton last season.
Chelsea ended up coming from 4-1 down against last year's Champions League semi-finalists to draw 4-4 after a fascinating second half.
