In the first leg of the UEFA Conference League, Chelsea emerged victorious with a 2-0 win against Servette.
Despite finishing sixth in the Premier League, Chelsea had to compete in the tournament as Manchester United claimed the FA Cup title.
Enzo Maresca’s squad struggled to find the back of the net in the opening half against their Swiss opponents at Stamford Bridge.
However, Christopher Nkunku broke the deadlock by scoring his first goal of the season from a penalty, giving Chelsea the lead in the second half.
Subsequently, Noni Madueke extended the lead with a goal scored from a difficult angle using his weaker right foot.
With this outcome, Chelsea now has a strong position to secure a spot in the main competition.
