Chelsea Overcome Cardiff With Two Late Goals

Spread the love

Chelsea earned a crucial three points in their push for a Champions League spot at the Cardiff City Stadium thanks to two late goals, one of which was shrouded in controversy.

Maurizio Sarri‘s side controlled possession for most of the first-half but it finished up goalless at the interval without any real intent from either side.

The second-half sprung to life straight away with the hosts taking the lead less than one minute into proceedings thanks to Victor Camarasa‘s volley.

In added time, substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek headed home the winner to give the Blues all three points in the Welsh capital.
