Red Bull Salzburg vs. Chelsea result hig

Chelsea secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-1 victory over Red Bull Salzburg in a match where both teams created plenty of opportunities.Graham Potter made four changes to the team that drew against Manchester United Steven Nelson Jersey in the Premier League with Christian Pulisic and Conor Gallagher coming into the team.A bright opening saw Salzburg force Kepa Arrizabalaga into a couple saves, but it was Chelsea who took the lead when Mateo Kovacic guided a shot from the edge of the box into the top corner.The visitors continued to pre s and came close to scoring a second soon after when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was released through on goal only for Philipp Kohn to thwart him with a save.Salzburg emerged for the second half with fresh energy and grabbed an equaliser after 48 minutes through Junior Adamu who cushioned a finish past Kepa after being played through in behind.Chelsea responded well and regained the lead when Kai Havertz crashed a long-range strike in off the underside of the cro sbar.A switch to a back four saw Chelsea stifle the Salzburg attack as the Premier League side saw out an important victory which secured their place in the next round of the competition.MORE: This had the potential to be a difficult match for Chelsea, and there were moments when Salzburg looked dangerous and could have scored more than once, but the Blues' midfield was key to their victory.Kovacic was untouchable in the centre of the pitch, gliding past opponents at will while Conor Gallagher also impre sed with his performance. Their creativity and determination to get forward meant Chelsea always carried a threat even when they were sitting deep towards the end of the match. Chelsea's players are being kept on their toes by the frequent tactical changes made by their new manager over the first two months of his tenure. Potter set up his team in a 3-4-3 to start which made use of Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling as wing backs and it ensured the Blues were able to find space in the wide areas.However, with the match slightly too open for Potter's liking in the second half he switched to a back four to take the sting out of the Salaburg attack. This worked too as Chelsea saw out the final 10 minutes with Houston Texans Women Jersey minimal fu s. Potter continues to demonstrate his tactical nous.He's Champions League.
