Chelsea advances to Conference League quarter-finals after Dewsbury-Hall goal

Chelsea secured their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League with a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen, winning 3-1 on aggregate. The match at Stamford Bridge was marked by a lackluster first half where Chelsea failed to take a single shot, prompting coach Enzo Maresca to make crucial substitutions at half-time. The introduction of Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer injected new life, leading to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scoring a brilliant individual goal shortly after the break. Despite the win, Chelsea's performance raised concerns among fans about the team's attacking cohesion and overall style under Maresca, who has faced criticism for the team's lack of urgency and creativity. While the victory marks Chelsea's fourth consecutive win in all competitions, doubts about their form persist as they prepare for a key league match against Arsenal. The Blues will face either Legia Warszawa or Molde in the upcoming quarter-finals.
