| Chelsea squandered the chance to qualify for the knockout stages
of the Champions League with another dreadful European away performance
against Bordeaux.
Alou Diarra's 82nd-minute equaliser forced 10-man Chelsea to put
their qualification celebrations on hold and leaves them needing
a win against Cluj in the final round to ensure a place in the next
phase.
Nicolas Anelka's 60th-minute strike, his 14th of the season, looked
set to give Chelsea their first away win in Europe this season.
But Diarra rose unmarked to head home a shock leveller eight minutes
from time and give coach Luiz Felipe Scolari more food for thought.
To make matters worse, midfielder Frank Lampard was sent off for
a second bookable offence in the closing stages. |
