This was hardly the emphatic response Frank Lampard had hoped for but Marcos Alonso rescued a point for Chelsea on their return to action.
Chelsea, bruised from a night of torment against Bayern Munich in midweek, fell behind to goals from Jefferson Lerma and Joshua King in three remarkable second-half minutes but Alonso ensured Chelsea did not leave empty-handed. Chelsea have been depleted by injuries of late, with Tammy Abraham limping out of the warm-down on Tuesday, but Alonso struck twice to help hold on to fourth place for another week at least.
