62. Pedro got another chance for Chelsea after getting a space to run at David Luiz. He teed off Reece James and the right-back slashes his shot way off target.
57. Chelsea almost regained the lead after Jorginho, who had enough room in midfield played a lovely quarterback pass over the top to Mount who was clean through. But he couldn’t bring the ball down as it was a yard too long.
47. Pulisic injured. Just a minute ago, the American almost scored, he has now picked up a hamstring injury. This occurred as he reached the penalty area and before he took that shot. Coming on for his Pedro, who had no time to warm up.

What a run.
