Chelsea secured a hard fought 2-0 away win over Bundesliga side Heidenheim to stay top of theUEFA Conference League standings on Thursday night.
Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk scored the goals, both of which came in a frantic second half with a plethora of chances at each end of the pitch, while goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen will also take significant plaudits from this one for preserving a clean sheet.
A soft second yellow card for Cesare Casadei deep in stoppage time saw Chelsea finish with ten players.
