Chelsea secured their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League, defeating Copenhagen 1-0 in their second-leg encounter to go through 3-1 on aggregate.
Copenhagen sought to overturn a 2-1 first-leg defeat but Chelsea looked the hungrier side, creating the best chance of the first half from a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jadon Sancho combination that flashed wide.
Cole Palmer’s introduction for the second period was a welcome sight for the underwhelmed home fans.
As the hour mark approached, Dewsbury-Hall’s determined run opened up the Copenhagen backline, allowing him to drive a low effort inside the far post for his third Chelsea goal.
Chelsea’s fourth straight win in all competitions can act as a springboard, looking forward to a European quarter-final.
