Maresca Praises Two Chelsea Academy Stars Following Impressive First-Leg Performance

Chelsea secured a comfortable 3-0 win in the first leg of their Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw, with Tyrique George scoring his first senior goal. The 19-year-old, who usually features in Europe but has never started a Premier League match, took on the number 10 role in the second half following Cole Palmer's withdrawal and impressed. Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea boss, praised the academy graduate, stating, "I'm really happy to see him score." Noni Madueke added a brace, while the defensive performance kept Legia at bay, with Josh Acheampong impressing at right-back. Chelsea will play the second leg at Stamford Bridge next Thursday and potentially face Djurgardens or Rapid Vienna in the semi-finals.
