Legia Warsaw vs Chelsea LIVE!

Chelsea may already have booked their place in the semi-finals of the Conference League with a commanding victory over Legia Warsaw on Thursday night. The Blues recovered from a stodgy first-half showing and defied a hostile home atmosphere in the Polish capital to seal a huge lead to take back to Stamford Bridge for next week’s last-eight second-leg clash at Stamford Bridge.

19-year-old academy graduate Tyrique George opened the scoring less than five minutes after the interval as he reacted quickest to slot in the rebound after a Reece James effort was saved, followed by Noni Madueke - a half-time replacement for Cole Palmer - twice netting after twice being teed up by Jadon Sancho, his second goal coming just 25 seconds after a disappointing Christopher Nkunku penalty had been saved by Kacper Tobiasz following Patryk Kun’s foul on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Enzo Maresca’s side can be forgiven for now casting one eye ahead to the semi-finals, where either Swedish team Djurgarden or Rapid Vienna of Austria will await.
