Chelsea held to a 0-0 draw by Sevilla - Football News - Sportstar
The HinduChelsea was frustrated by a disciplined Sevilla as their opening Group E fixture in the Champions League ended in a cagey 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Europa League winner Sevilla, which has been a thorn in the side of English clubs in Europe, contained Chelsea's attacking threats in a game of few clear chances. Clean sheet Chelsea's most productive spell came after the restart when Kurt Zouma and Ben Chilwell both headed good chances straight at Sevilla keeper Yassine Bounou. “People were looking at us after conceding three on Saturday but definitely we were solid and they didn't have that many chances.” Mendy dealt comfortably with Sevilla's three attempts on target and showed fine reactions to claw away Gudelj's awkward header in the first half. After Chelsea's initial burst at the start of the second half, when Christian Pulisic began to threaten and Werner had one decent effort from long range, Sevilla ended strongly.
