- Tyrique George scored at close range after the shot from Reece James was ready
- Noni Madueke then left the bench to strike twice in the second half
- Listen now: everything is launched! With the Premier League probably obtaining five places in the Champions League, are we rewarding mediocrity?
By turning to a wall rumbling from Legia Warsaw ultras, it helps to have a 19 -year -old live thread from the academy willing to show the strength of his character.
With his first senior goal for Chelsea, Tyrique George scored, sprinted by the corner, slipped on his knees and sent his club to the semi-finals of the conference league.
This opening of the 49th minute and this Balsy celebration were necessary because the team of Enzo Maresca had struggled to decompose the low block of Legia before.
He has created new spaces for visitors, because a part-time substitute for Noni Madueke added two goals which indeed ended this equality, both set up by Jadon Sancho.
Chelsea will resume this advance at Stamford Bridge for the second stage of next week which, in your opinion, will be a formality, and probably another chance for the teenager George to impress.
Maresca knew it would be a test of the character of his team. He did not go to Full Mikel Arteta by exploding the noise of the crowd in his team’s training sessions, but he armed his players with images showing the atmosphere that would await them at the Stade du Marshal Jozef PiĆsudski.



But unusual that the duties were, he did not want them to be surprised by the bear pit in which they entered, with the ultras of Legia called The Teddy Boys 95.
The hostile welcome from Chelsea started with the fans of the house that exceed a banner the size of the stand behind the goal. He showed a Spartan sticking a sword on the face of a lion. Over the graphics, it was particularly horrible, the blood represented corresponding to the red rockets which surround it.
On the ground, Christopher Nkunku had another chance by Maresca, after hanging after 45 minutes of nothing in his first League dead end in Brentford on Saturday.
In the 15th minute, Cole Palmer led a counterattack. His pass was slightly behind Nkunku but still reached his target. This is where the attack died of a death, because what the French did then was so poor that we do not know if it was a cross or an attempt.
Maresca showed his frustration in the technical zone and in the 25th minute, he feared an Open-Legia when Maxi Oyedele, the 20-year-old English who played 12 games from the National League in Altrincham two seasons, played Ryoya Morishita. The Japanese winger tried to curl up in the area but was wrong with his angles while he was flying well.
After 34 minutes came the greatest chance of Chelsea from the first half while the ball bounced backwards of the Legia box. He began to be struck by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who forced, but the fingers of Legia Kacper Tobiasz goalkeeper denied him.
Dewsbury-Hall was also unhappy with himself when he lowered a free head, nodding his head in the first half. For the second half, Maresca led Levi Colwill and Madueke for Tosin Adarabioyo and Palmer, who saw George move from the wing in a central position.
In the 49th minute, the teenager of their cobham treadmill gave them his head when he jumped on a rebound in the explosion of 20 yards of Reece James.
After 56 minutes, Chelsea marked again when Tobiasz’s authorization was mediocre. Sancho slipped a pass into Madueke, whose reverse finish deceived Legia’s goalkeeper.




In the 71st minute, Chelsea received a penalty when Nkunku fell into the box, followed by Dewsbury-Hall. You can make your choice for the fault you imagined. Nkunku took it, but Tobiasz made a simple backup by immersing the right way.
While Legia fans celebrated this safeguard, however, Chelsea made 3-0 while Sancho obtained his second assist of the evening by installing Madueke for his hug. There were 25 seconds between Miss de Nkunku and Madueke’s finish.
While full time was approaching, Patryk Kun thought he had caught a goal for Legia, but Filip Jorgensen made a strong reactive backup to make sure that Chelsea has kept its advantage of three goals.
