In the 63rd min, Callum Robinson who was brought in to replace Branislav Ivanovic (who got injured in the 37th min) found the back of the net and it was more trouble for Chelsea as they were now losing 1-3 with a man down, the goal was assisted by Darnell Furlong. Mbaye Diagne later found the back of the net in the 78th min.
71 minutes into the game, Timo Werner provided an assist for Mason Mount and the game was 2-4 and it looked as if Chelsea was going to recover.
