    GOAL - Chelsea 2-2 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Dario Essugo (38 mins)

    A move that starts and ends with Dario Essugo.

    He drives forward then it's lovely passing in and around the box from Chelsea and Essugo picks the ball up from Reggie Walsh, slotting into the bottom corner.

    It's come pretty much out of nowhere but Chelsea won't care, they're back on level terms.

  2. Chelsea 1-2 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Another free header in the middle of the box for Western Sydney.

    This time it drops wide.

    Not bothered about the transfers, I just want some stability and a return to decent football. Oh, and less of these friendlies on the other side of the world!

  4. Chelsea 1-2 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Chelsea on the ropes a bit as Tosin Adarabioyo's pass is intercepted and Western Sydney eventually win a corner.

    The London side hemmed into their own half at the moment, they can't get it clear.

  5. goal

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-2 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Aydan Hammond (32 mins)

    Lovely skill from Aydan Hammond as he flicks round the defender and slots into the bottom corner.

    But it's another goal Chelsea won't be too chuffed about conceding.

    Just over half an hour on the clock and Chelsea trail.

  6. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Lovely link-up between Reggie (Watson) and Reggie (Walsh).

    Reggie squared? Reggie x2? The two Reggies?

    Must be really difficult for Alonso to give game time to Chelsea's 200 squad players before sending 175 of them out on loan.

  8. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Liam Delap fires off from a tight angle with his left foot but his effort is way off target.

  9. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Teddy Sharman-Lowe comes to out to collect the ball into the box and tries to get his side on their way.

    Satpaev strikes that ball a little too naturally for a 17-year-old. Has anyone checked his birth certificate?

  11. Chelsea have regressed slightly

    After a blistering start, Chelsea have dropped their intensity and look as jetlagged as we feel here in the press box.

    New manager Xabi Alonso is looking a vocal presence on the touchline trying to drive his team on.

  12. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    What have you made of your club's summer transfer window business, Chelsea fans?

    Morgan Rogers is in but of course we won't see him until closer to the start of the season because of his participation in the World Cup for England.

    Who else would you like to see Xabi Alonso bring in?

    Not overly concerned with the score, I just want Chelsea to play well and get no injuries.

  14. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Reggie Walsh fancies his chances from range and it's a decent effort and needs pushing away by goalkeeper Jordan Holmes.

    Tosin Adarabioyo has a free header from the corner and he'll be disappointed with the outcome.

  15. Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Chelsea under a bit of pressure now and will want to reassert their dominance in possession.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-1 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Anthony Pantazopoulos (14 mins)

    It's all a bit of a mess from this young Chelsea side.

    Western Sydney Wanderers have a corner and it's a free header for Anthony Pantazopoulos at the back post to nod down.

    Goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe catches it but he's well behind his goal line and it's a definite goal.

  17. Chelsea 1-0 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Liam Gillian strikes well with his foot towards the bottom far corner and forces the Chelsea keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe into a good save down to his right to turn round the post.

    Landon Emenalo (son of the former Chelsea director), Walsh and Reggie Watson (son of Ben Watson) are big hopes for Chelsea fans. Hopefully they get the chance to show what they can do. Emenalo is incredibly promising and hopefully stops us buying a new left-back!

  19. Chelsea's formation under Alonso

    Chelsea 1-0 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Nizaar Kinsella
    BBC Sport Chelsea reporter

    Chelsea are playing with Satpaev on the left wing and Kavuma-McQueen on the right. Walsh is playing as a no10.

    In defence, Subuloye is at right back allowing Acheampong to play his favoured centre-back role. The usual 4-2-3-1 which Chelsea have mostly played since former manager Enzo Maresca's 2024 appointment

  20. CLOSE!

    Chelsea 1-0 Western Sydney Wanderers

    Ryan Kavuma-McQueen plays a one-two inside the box then strikes well with his left foot but it's a good save from the keeper to tip it over the bar.
