Impressive Chelsea rout Panathinaikos

Scorers: Félix 22′, 55′, Mudryk 48′, Nkunku 59′ (PEN); Pellestri 69′

Chelsea recorded a 4-1 away victory over Panathinaikos in Conference League action.

João Félix was instrumental in Chelsea’s opener, winning the flick-on from the initial diagonal ball, before getting on the end of Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross to deliver the close-range finish.

Into the second half and Mudryk soon had a goal of his own when he got on the end of a superb cross from Pedro Neto, heading in at the far post.

Chelsea were cruising when Félix curled in his second, the chance coming from yet another assist from Mudryk.

A handball inside the box saw the Blues awarded a penalty, and Christopher Nkunku converted with a hard and low shot into the corner.

The Greek side pulled one back when some slick passing around the box left the Chelsea defence flat-footed, and Facundo Pellistri was on hand to deliver the finish.

It’s back to Stamford Bridge next for Enzo Maresca’s side, as they face Newcastle in Premier League action on Sunday.
