Warsaw: Head coach Enzo Maresca praised the contributions of Chelsea’s academy graduates after Tyrique George scored his first senior goal and Josh Acheampong also impressed in their 3-0 Conference League win over Legia Warsaw. After a poor first half in Poland it was quick reactions from 19-year-old winger George that handed Chelsea the breakthrough, tapping home when Reece James’ long-range strike was pushed out by the goalkeeper. That came minutes after he had moved infield to the number 10 role following the withdrawal at half-time of Cole Palmer. On in his place came Noni Madueke, who marked his second appearance since returning from injury with two goals to effectively finish the tie ahead of the return at Stamford Bridge next week. Of George’s goal, Maresca said: “I’m happy first of all for the Chelsea academy because he is one of our boys. He was quite good in the first half, taking responsibility. He was probably better in the middle. (PA Media/dpa)
