Chelsea's new management era under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital has officially begun with a significant triumph in the UEFA Conference League, beating Real Betis 4-1. Despite a challenging start, with Betis initially taking the lead, Chelsea's Cole Palmer played a crucial role by providing two quick assists that turned the match. Additional goals from Jadon Sancho and Moisés Caicedo sealed the victory, confirming Chelsea's expectation to win this competition given their resources compared to competitors.
"I was sick of getting the ball and going backwards and sideways, I thought when I next get the ball I'm going to go," Palmer said afterwards in his typically laconic style.
"The first one, there was a bit of space and I saw Enzo running at it so put it over the top. [Second one] same again," Palmer described his key assists.
