Birthday boy Tammy Abraham gave the Blues the lead when he converted from close range in the 22nd minute after receiving the ball from Fikayo Tomori.
Chelsea's lead lasted for just 11 minutes as another in-form Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen scored a brilliant header to restore parity in the 33rd minute.
Though Willian scored the winning goal in the 77th minute, Osimhen and Abraham's goalscoring performances were lauded by Nigerians.
