Chelsea defender Malang Sarr shines on Porto debut

Chelsea defender Malang Sarr made a full debut for Porto in this week's Champions League defeat at Manchester City.

Sarr, 21, left French outfit Nice to put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer.

There was no immediate place for the young centre-back in Frank Lampard 's squad, however, and he was subsequently sent out on loan to Porto for the duration of the 2020/21 campaign.

His move to Portugal was announced earlier this month and on Wednesday he was handed his full debut, starting in their Champions League clash with City at the Etihad.

Sarr was unable to inspire Sergio Conceicao's side to victory on the night, with City already 3-1 ahead when he was replaced by Evanilson after 80 minutes.
