Chelsea won a wild 6-4 contest at Accor Stadium, with Joao Pedro scoring three times after Western Sydney Wanderers had twice taken the lead.
Chelsea outlasted Western Sydney Wanderers 6-4 at Accor Stadium in a match that swung repeatedly between the sides. D. Satpaev put Chelsea ahead in the sixth minute, but goals from A. Pantazopoulos and A. Hammond turned the score around before D. Essugo levelled just before half-time.
The key moment came after D. Scicluna restored the Wanderers’ advantage in the 62nd minute. Chelsea replied through J. Gittens, then Joao Pedro took over: he scored in the 80th, 85th and 89th minutes to complete a hat-trick and secure the win. A. Lual had also found the net for the hosts in the 78th.
Chelsea’s six goals showed their attacking threat, while conceding four will temper the satisfaction of the result. For Western Sydney, three goals before the late Chelsea surge were not enough to turn an open contest into a victory.
