Chelsea 1-0 Djurgarden (agg 5-1): Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strikes as Blues cruise into Conference League final
Chelsea ensured there was little drama as they booked their place in the Conference League final with a 1-0 win over Djurgarden at Stamford Bridge.
Having won the first leg 4-1 in Stockholm, Enzo Maresca rotated his side with an eye on this weekend’s trip to Newcastle, a crucial match in their bid to secure Champions League football.
It was a measure of this most unusual European season, in which Enzo Maresca’s side have coasted to the showpiece in the Polish city of Wroclaw using largely their second string and swatting aside teams from Armenia, Kazakhstan and the Republic of Ireland, that 10 players were left out from Sunday’s win over Liverpool and a full debut was handed to 16-year-old midfielder Reggie Walsh.
