(Football result) - Chelsea faced great difficulty before managing to rally and defeat Lincoln City 2-1 on the road in the 3rd round of the English League Cup.
In the early hours of September 24 (Vietnam time), Chelsea faced a tough away match at Lincoln City in the 3rd round of the English League Cup. The London club struggled significantly but eventually managed to come from behind and win 2-1 to advance to the next round.
Chelsea entered the match burdened by the 1-2 loss to Manchester United last weekend. This was evident in the first half as their defense repeatedly made mistakes, and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, who was given a chance to replace Robert Sanchez, showed an insecure performance.

Lincoln capitalized fully on their chances, especially after Lewis Montsma’s shot hit the post and Chelsea’s defense was unsettled, while Rob Street punished them with the opening goal in the 42nd minute.
In the second half, Chelsea surged back strongly thanks to Tyrique George’s brilliance. Just three minutes after the restart, the young talent scored a beautiful long-range shot to equalize at 1-1. Less than two minutes later, Facundo Buonanotte scored with a skillful solo effort, putting The Blues ahead 2-1. However, the game remained tough for Enzo Maresca’s team as Lincoln continuously pressed, and Jorgensen in goal was still unstable.
