Chelsea come from behind to beat Real Betis and win Conference League

Chelsea’s season ended in glory in Wroclaw as they came from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the Conference League final and deliver the first trophy of the Clearlake Capital ownership era.

Everything for Enzo Maresca’s team hinged around a five-minute spell midway through the second half.

In that window Cole Palmer turned a match the LaLiga side had enjoyed by far the better of into a Chelsea procession, setting up headers first for Enzo Fernandez then for Nicolas Jackson just as the occasion looked to have overwhelmed this young Blues team.

Until that point and against a wall of noise from the Betis end, Chelsea were outplayed and pegged back by an early goal from Abde Ezzalzouli.

EUROPEAN WINNERS!!!
