Chelsea 0-1 Valencia LIVE: Rodrigo gives visitors shock lead after Mount goes off injured – The Sun

Lottie Casas September 17, 2019

FRANK LAMPARD is taking charge of his first Champions League fixture as Valencia visit the Bridge.

Chelsea and their new-look young side were in terrific form as they smashed Wolves 5-2 on Saturday – and will want to secure three points on home soil against the Spaniards.

Valencia are targeting an early upset in Group H, which includes last year's semi-finalists Ajax and Ligue 1 side Lille.

  • Chelsea 0-1 Valencia
  • Rodrigo volleys ball past Kepa to give visitors lead on 74 minutes.

  • Valencia are not exactly hanging on here – they are coping well enough with the Chelsea probing.

  • CHANCE FOR CHELSEA!!

    Giroud gets his first opportunity, skipping into the area on the left before shooting straight at Cillessen. It's the most dangerous they have looked in a while.

    A last throw of the dice for the Blues now as Kovacic comes off for Barkley.

  • Frank Lampard changed it up in a bid to inject some more attacking impetus into his side, but the change had no time to have any impact before Valencia scored.

    It's a big task getting back from here now.

  • GOAL TO VALENCIA!!!!

    A nightmare for Chelsea as they are caught cold by a lovely clipped free-kick from Parejo to find the run into the box of Rodrigo.

    The Spaniard connects with his volley on the run and Kepa can do nothing to prevent it hitting the net.

  • Substitution for Chelsea – and it's time for Giroud.

    Lampard knows he needs to get a win if at all possible, so he sacrifices defender Zouma for the French striker.

    So it looks as though we are going to see 4-4-2 for Chelsea – can the two-man attack provide some joy?
