BREAKING: #Zakaria Seals #ChampionsLeague Top Spot For #Chelsea – #Potter—Denis Zakaria debut goal has sealed UEFA Champions League Top Spot for Chelsea
CHELSEA finished top of their Champions League group as they beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Petkovic put the visitors ahead early but goals from Raheem Sterling and debut man Denis Zakaria won it for the Blues.
Chelsea go into tonight’s final Champions League group-stage match against Dinamo Zagreb with qualifcation and top spot in Group E already secured. Comfortable wins over AC Milan and then victory over RB Salzburg last time out got the job done for the Blues with a game to spare, an impressive turnaround after the disastrous start they made to their European campaign.
For the first time though under Graham Potter they must respond to a defeat, after they were hammered by Brighton over the weekend to bring an end to the Chelsea boss’ unbeaten run since taking over. While there is a huge clash on the horizon against Arsenal on Sunday, and nothing riding on this match for the Blues, Potter has still named a strong side. Mason Mount, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling all start, while Denis Zakaria makes his debut.
