(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! ?
