(Video): Emerson seals Chelsea’s victory over Atletico Madrid with a fine finish on the counter attack
Emerson is one of just a couple of players who has barely featured under Thomas Tuchel, and the manager clearly wanted to reward him with a couple of minutes here tonight.
The left back made the most of it, he banged in a goal with his first touch as the Blues broke the length of the pitch, and he sent Thiago Silva – watching from the West Stand – absolutely crazy.
We loved the passion all round, and we can’t wait to see who we get in the next round.
Impact! 💥
Emerson smashed the ball home with his first touch to seal the 3-0 aggregate win for Chelsea 🙌
Look at the celebrations in the stands from Thiago Silva, Mason Mount and Jorginho! 😆🤣 pic.twitter.com/wNX3YZe0Sx
