EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have new Bournemouth attacker name as a ‘massive’ transfer target for the summer!!

It didn’t look like it was going to be Chelsea’s day after Cole Palmer missed a first half penalty when most of us would of put our houses on him scoring it.

Enzo Maresca was very pleased with the three points but he did once again threaten to take off one of his players if they went against his passing tactics.

All in all though it was a good afternoon for Chelsea as they firmly put themselves back in to fourth place in the Premier League.

Chelsea now face Copenhagen in the Conference League tonight for the second leg clash where they lead 2-1.

Conference League alone not a success

Joe Cole on TNT Sports.

During a discussion on TNT Sports between Rio Ferdinand, Peter Crouch and Ally McCoist, former Chelsea star Joe Cole was asked for his verdict of whether winning the Conference League would mark a successful season for Chelsea.

Asked whether he agreed or disagreed, Cole instantly responded, stating: “Disagree.”

Explaining his reasoning, Cole said: “For West Ham, winning the Conference League, it was a massive achievement. That’s not being condescending. That’s just saying where the club have been and to win a trophy. Those boys, what they’ve done there was incredible.

“But for the money that Chelsea have spent, the Conference League isn’t made for them. Some of the games we have covered have been Chelsea’s second or third team dispatching Noah. You know what I mean.”

Ferdinand pressed Cole and asked: “do you not just take that though?”

Cole continued: “I’d take it. It’s not a success. If you win the Conference League and you get into the Champions League, it’s a success.

“Chelsea have to be in the Champions League with the money that’s been spent.”
