The European champion is unstoppable. Leader in Premier League and group leader after the win over Juventus. After the last three consecutive victories, Massimo Allegri’s men were gaining in confidence and wanted to continue in the same vein at Stamford Bridge. Who continued with their usual trend was Chelsea, which has not lost since the defeat against the Vecchia Signora September 29. Despite the significant absences on all lines. Thomas Tüchel has a good wardrobe background. And of alternatives to create danger.
Trevoh Chalobah opened the scoring in the 24th minute. He found a fumble in the area in a corner, and shot hard from close range. Securing. The Turinese protested, finding no consolation. The VAR ruled that the suspicions of lack of Jorginho and Antonio Rüdiger did not have a solid basis. The 22-year-old’s goal was worth it. Three transfers later, he already has his place in the first team. First ownership and first goal in the Champions League. Juventus threatened to react immediately. Álvaro Morata received a chopped ball by Manuel Locatelli, and he raised it over Edouard Mendy when the French goalkeeper came out to clear with his fists. Just in time. Like Thiago Silva throwing himself towards his own goal to avoid the goal. By the time the Turinese returned to intimidate the goalkeeper, it was too late. Mendy ended up leaving a clean sheet for the fourth time in the group’s five matchdays. He has only conceded a little.
Chelsea stormed the lead with two goals in two minutes after the break. Right-back Reece James scored his fifth goal of the season in the 56th minute after a cross from left-back Ben Chilwell. Callum Hudson-Odoi put land in the middle in 58. Timo Werner entered the final minutes after being a month out, to close the account on the discount. Kante and Chilwell ended the game with physical problems, so the satisfaction was not complete.
