Chelsea catwalked from fourth
group game while jeering Champions league failure Sporting Lisbon in a 3-1 win
on Wednesday. The Blues, whose unbeaten run was undone by 2-1 loss to
Newscastle on Saturday, debutted 18-year-old Ruben Loftus-Cheek while sending
Willian, John Terry and Eden Hazard off to a necessary "holiday".
Cesc Fabregas slid in the opening goal at 8th minute following a dumb foul by
Ricardo Esgaio. Andre Schurrle, following first-team return, heightened
Sporting's tension with a second Chelsea goal achieved with a low right-foot
tip. Sporting attempted comeback on 50 minutes with Jonathan Silva's
chest-down-and-touch goal. But Mikel Obi worsened Lisbon's dilemma with a
net-breakng use of Fabregas' free-kick. As Sporting Lisbon bids farewell to the
Champions league like fellow failure and bottom-kisser Liverpool, the Blues
proceed to the knockout stages.
