Legia Warsaw 0-3 Chelsea: Tyrique George scores before Noni Madueke nets twice in Conference League quarter-final first leg

Tyrique George scored his first senior goal before substitute Noni Madueke netted twice to put Chelsea in complete control of their Conference League quarter-final with a 3-0 first-leg victory at Legia Warsaw.

George, who joined the Blues at the age of eight, tapped in the opener four minutes into the second half after Chelsea had laboured during the opening period despite dominating possession.

Madueke came on for Cole Palmer at half-time and added a deserved second for Chelsea with a smart finish into the bottom-right corner from inside the box.

Chelsea were much improved in the second half, moving the ball quickly and threatening every time they went forward, having been frustrated by the hosts.

However, Christopher Nkunku was unable to improve his poor form, which has now seen him score only once in his last 12 appearances, after having his penalty saved by Kacper Tobiasz.

Madueke, though, scored 25 seconds later with a simple tap-in from Jadon Sancho’s square pass into the six-yard box to give Chelsea a commanding lead ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge on April 17.
