It has been a tale of two seasons so far. While much of the focus has been on Chelsea's decline in attacking output - and perhaps unfairly on Cole Palmer given the continual reliance on him - so far Maresca's style of play has left the defence consistently vulnerable,

The competition favourites had to wait until a minute into the second half to take the lead, when Reece James fired a low shot from distance that found its way past København goalkeeper Diant Ramaj. Chelsea then doubled their advantage in the 65th minute courtesy of an emphatic strike from substitute Enzo Fernández following a pass form Tyrique George.
