Nkunku and Madueke give Chelsea first-leg advantage against Servette
First leg: Chelsea 2-0 ServetteSub Madueke seals win after Nkunku penalty
It was not exactly all sweetness and light for Chelsea during this prosaic 2-0 win over Servette. Those hunting for optimism could find it in encouraging displays from some new faces, while goals from Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke during an improved second half should ensure that progress to the Europa Conference League is secured in Switzerland next week, but there were also moments when discontent in the stands bubbled to the surface.
There was a fair bit of unrest after a torpid opening period, during which it was hard to see why Mykhailo Mudryk has been preferred to Raheem Sterling in attack, and later there would even be hints of opposition to Enzo Maresca’s style of play. It was certainly odd to hear boos when Moises Caicedo, who was under pressure, turned backwards in possession.
