Chelsea Beat Benfica 1-0; Pedro Suspended

News summary

Chelsea beat Benfica 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League after Benfica defender Richard Rios turned Alejandro Garnacho’s early cross into his own net. Joao Pedro was sent off late for a second yellow and will serve a one-match suspension, meaning he will miss Chelsea’s next Champions League game against Ajax but not the upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool. The sending-off was Chelsea's third red card in three matches. Enzo Maresca recorded his first Champions League victory as Chelsea clung on, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez making several important saves. Jose Mourinho was warmly received on his return to Stamford Bridge, but Benfica remained competitive and created several chances despite the solitary error that decided the match.
