A Noni Madueke penalty and Enzo Fernandez strike spare Chelsea's blushes at Stamford Bridge
Madueke’s shushing of the away fans felt rather uncharitable, like a track athlete celebrating after winning the 100m race at their children’s sports day, but he had a better evening than most in a heavily rotated side. He’ll be pleased too, given Chelsea have struck a £45m deal with Manchester City winger Cole Palmer, another direct competitor for his place.
It was a testament to Wimbledon’s efforts, that Chelsea’s A-teamers were gradually peeled from the bench: Nicolas Jackson at half-time, Fernandez after 65 minutes, Moises Caicedo after 80. Levi Colwill was one of the four to retain their places, but grimaced as he came off holding his left ankle.
