"Charles De Ketelaere provided a hammer blow to Chelsea's top-eight hopes in the Champions League after his late goal inspired Atalanta to a 2-1 win. Having set up Gianluca Scamacca's second-half equaliser, the Belgium forward powered past Robert Sanchez with seven minutes remaining. His goal lifted Atalanta to third in the 36-team standings, eight places and three points above Enzo Maresca's side with just two league-phase games remaining."
"The hosts soon found the 55th-minute leveller, however, as De Ketelaere crossed for Scamacca to peel off towards the back post and thump a header past Sanchez. Scamacca could have sent Atalanta in front just seven minutes later, but his glancing header was clawed away by Sanchez. However, De Ketelaere stepped up for the decisive moment when his wicked effort deflected off Marc Cucurella and in, before Marco Carnesecchi denied both Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Pedro late on."
Charles De Ketelaere set up Gianluca Scamacca's 55th-minute equaliser and scored a late, deflected winner as Atalanta beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Champions League. Joao Pedro had put Chelsea ahead after VAR overturned an offside call following a Reece James cross. Atalanta moved to third in the 36-team group, three points above Chelsea with two league-phase games remaining. Chelsea's 41-game unbeaten run when leading at half-time in the competition ended, marking their first such Champions League defeat since September 2013.
