Nobody doubted that Chelsea would not have a difficult task against the PAOK Salonika, but the Greeks went further. From the 7th minute of the game, they played bull. The Greek back side champion, Leo Matos, wanted to play the ball in front of his own goal, but he entrusted it to Olivier Giroud. Yevhen Khacheridi failed to repair his colleague's mistake and he committed his own. He cut off the Frenchman and quickly looked at the red card.
Goals were a matter of time. Cesc Fabregas started both goals in the first period. The Spaniard played the ball with Pedro, who hit Giroud on the right side of the penalty area in the 27th minute. The world champion ten minutes later, with a smart volley, used a wonderful Fabregas application. This is the tenth goal of Grenoble in the fifteenth match of European competitions.
The picture of the game in the second half has not changed. Fabregas went crazy again and Callum Hudson-Odoi took advantage of it. The Chelsea puppet attacked from the left, went into the penalty area with the ball and shot to the near post that surprised poor Alexandros Paschalakis. Odoi has reached the goal of help. Alvaro Morata worked well in the air. In the 78th minute, the Spaniard at the precise head took the score barely three minutes into the game.
The former legionnaire did not play at Stamford Bridge
Prijović was cut applications. The match of the top ten finalists in Greece forces former striker Legia to come back for the ball 40 meters from his goal and he did not have much to play. The coach Razvan Lucescu has already replaced the Serbian striker at the break.
Chelsea won the fifth meeting of Group L and has already scored 15 points. On the last lap, Londoners will play with Vidi FC. Hungarians lost to BATE Borysów 0: 2. Belarusians and Hungarians have six points in their account. PAOK Thessaloniki players have only three points. The Greeks must defeat BATE on the last lap and rely on Vidi's defeat against Chelsea.
