Their wasted chances gave one-time Brazil international Leandro Damiao the chance to fire his side to a surprise victory in the 86th minute of the tie, Chelsea’s below-par defending was on full show, the Blues scrambled hopelessly around their box and Damiao was left free to head the ball into the back of the net at the far post.
