Chelsea in full control after big win in Sweden | OneFootball

Chelsea are close to a Europa Conference League final after a 4-1 win away to Djurgarden in Sweden.

The Blues have long been favourites for the competition and they showed the gulf in class after earning a three-goal advantage to take back to Stamford Bridge.

The opening goal was a simple one as Enzo Fernández's cross from the right found Jadon Sancho in acres of space with the Manchester United loanee then scoring his side's first.

Chelsea carved Djurgarden apart for the second which ended with Fernández this time laying the ball off for Noni Madueke to finish.

Nicholas Jackson then scored two goals in six second-half minutes to increase his team's advantage. Jackson's first and Chelsea's third came when the striker took advantage of a miscommunication between the Djurgarden defender and goalkeeper before tapping home.

It was 4-0 when Djurgarden were caught playing out from the back by Moisés Caicedo with Jackson again applying the finishing touch.

However, the home side did give themselves a lifeline in the 68th minute when Tobias Gulliksen's cross from the left was headed past Robert Sánchez by substitute Isak Alemayehu.

Regardless of that goal, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Chelsea facing either Fiorentina or Real Betis in the final.
