Despite being on the verge of a lucrative switch, the 25-year-old attacker started for his club. His distinctive long throw-ins proved a potent weapon, leading to goals for teammates David Brooks and Justin Kluivert.

At halftime, Chelsea's manager made two changes, introducing captain Reece James and Pedro Neto for Josh Acheampong and Alejandro Garnacho.
A potential handball incident involving Gusto was quickly reviewed and not given by the video officials. Petrovic, once of Chelsea, made a fantastic stop to keep out Estevao's powerful drive from the edge of the area.
Fernandez had the clearest opportunity to win it late on, but he skied his effort from a promising position inside the penalty area.
Palmer's withdrawal for Pedro was greeted by boos from a section of the home crowd as the manager's side sought control. Although they enjoyed more possession late on, the hosts were unable to craft a winning goal.
