Chelsea locked horns with Djurgarden at the 3Arena earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a victory on their travels in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League semifinal tie. The Blues made a quick start to the game and scored the opener in the 12th minute thanks to Jadon Sancho’s effort. Noni Madueke doubled his team’s lead in the 43rd minute as Enzo Maresca’s men went into the half-time interval 2-0 up on the scoreline.
Nicolas Jackson netted Chelsea’s third goal in the 59th minute before going on to score again just six minutes later. Isak Mulugeta got a goal back for the home team in the 68th minute but Chelsea cruised to a dominant 4-1 win away from home.
