Chelsea took a giant step toward the UEFA Conference League semi-finals with a confident 3-0 away win over Legia Warsaw, highlighted by a special moment for 19-year-old academy graduate Tyrique George, who scored his first senior goal for the club. After dominating the first half without scoring, Chelsea struck quickly in the second — George reacting smartly to fire home after Reece James' shot was parried. The introduction of Noni Madueke and Marc Cucurella further tilted the momentum, with Madueke scoring twice — both assisted by Jadon Sancho — either side of a saved Christopher Nkunku penalty. Josh Acheampong impressed again with another versatile display, as Chelsea shut out the Polish side to take full control of the tie ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

‍

• George's First Goal: Tyrique George opened the scoring early in the second half, capitalising on a spilled shot from Reece James with a composed left-footed finish.
• Madueke Double: Noni Madueke came off the bench to net twice, showing sharp movement and finishing — the second coming seconds after Nkunku missed a penalty.
• Sancho's Impact: Jadon Sancho provided two assists and led several promising attacks after moving to the left wing.
• Acheampong’s Versatility: The teenager again impressed — starting at right-back, switching to centre-back in possession, and later playing in midfield.
• Dewsbury-Hall Threat: The midfielder was Chelsea’s main goal threat in the first half, twice forcing good saves from Legia keeper Kacper Tobiasz.
• Comfortable Evening: Chelsea controlled possession and tempo throughout, rarely troubled by Legia, and didn’t concede a single serious chance until the 90th minute.
• Second Leg Outlook: The tie returns to Stamford Bridge next week with Chelsea all but through to the final four.
