Never-say-die Chelsea stun
Valencia
tribalfooball.com - April 10, 2007
Never-say-die Chelsea stunned Valencia at the Mestalla with a
come-from-behind 2-1 victory.
Michael Essien's angled drive beat Santiago Canizares at his near
post, a disaster for the keeper who had just made a wonder save to
deny Michael Ballack.
Valencia took the lead when Joaquin crossed for Fernando Morientes
to slide in, just after Morientes hit a post.
Andriy Shevchenko levelled from close range before Essien won it
late on.
Chelsea's incredible comeback looks likely to set up an all-English
last-four tie with Liverpool, presuming they finish the job against
PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.
It was a stunning climax to an absorbing contest and Chelsea
deserved their reward for a second-half display full of guts and
determination.
