Chelsea secured a tense victory in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off match against Servette, with Christopher Nkunku finding the back of the net to help seal a 2-0 win.

In an exclusive interview, English sports journalist spoke to Kieran Trippier about his move to Atletico Madrid. The former Tottenham Hotspur defender revealed that he had spoken to Liam Gallagher, the famous musician and avid football fan, before making the switch to the Spanish club.

Trippier explained that he had picked Gallagher’s brains about life in Madrid and playing for Atletico. The musician, who is known for his love of football, was able to provide valuable insights and advice to Trippier.

Moving on to the UEFA Conference League play-off first leg, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side secured a victory against Servette. The match started off slowly, with Chelsea struggling to find their rhythm in the first half.

However, the team came out with renewed energy in the second half and quickly took the lead. Christopher Nkunku scored a penalty after being fouled by Servette goalkeeper Jeremy Frick.

Despite the early goal, Chelsea continued to push forward and create chances. Marc Guiu had an opportunity to extend the lead, but it was Noni Madueke who ultimately found the back of the net, securing a comfortable lead for Chelsea.

The final scoreline could have been even more impressive for Chelsea, as substitute Jeremy Guillemenot missed a clear-cut chance in the dying minutes of the match.

Overall, it was a positive performance from Chelsea, especially considering the number of changes made to the starting lineup. Maresca will be hoping to build on this victory and secure another win in the second leg in Switzerland next week.
