Chelsea 1 Inter 2 : Moses Switches To LB, Tomori Makes Cameo, Man Utd Target Scores
Published: July 29, 2017
In their final pre-season game in Singapore, Premier League champions Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Serie A side Inter Milan in an International Champions Cup clash staged at the National Stadium.
Despite manager Antonio Conte fielding his strongest possible starting line-up, the Blues lost their second straight game.
The Nerazzurri led 1-0 at the break thanks to ex-Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetić, who slotted home the rebound after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had saved his spot-kick in the third minute of stoppage time.
Manchester United target Ivan Perišić doubled the advantage for the Italian team seven minutes into the second half with an angled finish.
Following the introduction of Antonio Rüdiger in the 53rd minute, Conte changed his tactical approach to the game.
The German international moved to the central defense, Super Eagles star Moses switched to the left wing-back and Azpilicueta occupied the right wing-back position.
Chelsea reduced the deficit in the 74th minute when Kondogbia netted an own goal as he attempted to make a back pass.
England U20 international Fikayo Tomori was among the six substitutes that came on for Chelsea in the 89th minute.
