Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca responded by making a double substitution, with backup keeper Filip Jorgensen replacing Estêvão and defender Tosin Adarabioyo coming on for another forward, Pedro Neto. He made a third change in the 21st when Andrey Santos had to replace Cole Palmer, who appeared to injure his left thigh."

Casemiro made it 2-0 with a header in the 37th but the Brazil international was sent off for a second yellow card in the fifth minute of first half added time for a foul on Santos. Trevoh Chalobah pulled a goal back for Chelsea in the 80th minute to prompt a nervy finale."
