Chelsea Outscore Western Sydney Wanderers 6-4 in Goal Frenzy
Chelsea won a wild contest at Accor Stadium, with Joao Pedro scoring three times after Western Sydney Wanderers had twice moved ahead.
Chelsea edged Western Sydney Wanderers 6-4 in a remarkable, goal-filled contest at Accor Stadium. D. Satpaev put Chelsea in front in the sixth minute, but goals from A. Pantazopoulos and A. Hammond turned the game around before D. Essugo made it 2-2 late in the first half.
Western Sydney struck again through D. Scicluna after the break, only for J. Gittens to answer four minutes later. A. Lual restored the Wanderers’ lead in the 78th minute, but Chelsea finished strongly: Joao Pedro scored in the 80th, 85th and 89th minutes to complete his hat-trick and secure the win.
The late surge made the difference, but conceding four goals will temper Chelsea’s satisfaction. For Western Sydney, their four goals and repeated comebacks showed attacking threat, though they could not contain Chelsea in the closing stages.
