A key Chelsea player has reflected on the Blues’ opening Club World Cup victory despite a far from perfect performance.
Levi Colwill has expressed satisfaction with Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC in Atlanta, considering it a successful start to their Club World Cup campaign.
Pedro Neto's first-half strike provided Enzo Maresca’s team with a lead at the interval.
The Blues then maintained defensive discipline in the second period, eventually doubling their advantage through Enzo Fernandez, who finished from Liam Delap’s cross.
