Chelsea get first Champions League away win since 2022
Head coach praises Cole Palmer for ‘magnificent’ showing
Liam Rosenior praised his young Chelsea side’s ability to deal with adversity after they produced a spirited comeback against Napoli to reach the last 16 of the Champions League.
An excellent double from João Pedro and a devastating cameo from Cole Palmer ensured Rosenior’s side secured a 3-2 win at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and avoided the inconvenience of having to go through next month’s two-legged playoff for a place in the knockout phase.
It had looked dicey when Chelsea trailed 2-1 at half-time, only for the youngest side in the competition to respond and condemn Antonio Conte’s Napoli to an early exit.
