Madueke's Impact in Chelsea's European Campaign Against Servette
Madueke's Crucial Contribution to Chelsea's Victory
In a thrilling encounter, Chelsea overcame a challenging start to their season by defeating Servette 2-0 in their initial Europa Conference League playoff fixture at Stamford Bridge. Following an underwhelming first half and the pressure on new manager Enzo Maresca after a prior defeat to Manchester City, it was Christopher Nkunku who first broke the deadlock from the penalty spot.
Substitute Noni Madueke later extended the lead with a second goal, ensuring the team heads into the second leg in Switzerland with confidence. This win is seen as a much-needed relief for Chelsea amid mixed performances so far this season.
