Transcript

00:00The final pre-season test before the Premier League kicks off next weekend

00:05and it is a big one for Chelsea as Internazionale champions of Italy visit Stamford Bridge.

00:11The Blues back from the USA and got a baking hot day in West London

00:16keen to show the home support what they've been missing over the nearly three months since their last great dispatch.

00:24It is a big day for Enzo Maresco as the new Blues cross Texas placing the home dugout for the first time.

00:30There are of course no points on offer today but the chance for the latest Italian to take the Stamford Bridge hot seat

00:36to prove his mettle against his fellow countrymen is one he'll be desperate to take.

00:41Fascinating to see how closely this starting XI matches that against City here a week today.

00:46Robert Sanchez in goal, Martín Ferrer making his first pre-season appearance.

00:50Great to see Wesley Pofana back on Stamford Bridge territory.

00:54Dito Ramio Lavia elsewhere, their first appearances here in Chelsea Blue for Kieran Dewsbury-Hall and Marc Dieu.

01:04Duncan in 2020, one couple of titles already to his name.

01:07Here's the XI, he's selected Jan Sommer, kept goal here for Basel once upon a time.

01:12Damian and Nicky Tamarian both played here in the Premier League in previous guises.

01:16Marcus Churam, son of Lilian, is their main goal threat.

01:20We got 15 of them last season.

01:25Koukouraïa, he knows.

01:27Shoot is the cry.

01:30Fernandes.

01:31Oh, lovely ball, Dewsbury-Hall trying to get it under his spell and then hit from gear.

01:35Really good save and that Lacazette couldn't quite get to the follow-up quickly enough.

01:39Here's Gusteau, swept over his cross too close to Jan Sommer.

01:43Good stuff from Chelsea there.

01:45A really eye-catching move, Love Koukouraïa just taking it upon himself to drive forward.

01:52It's actually not caught particularly well by Dieu, but it's problematic.

01:59Here's Churam against Fafana, two Frenchmen going at it.

02:03Ball down the line for Di Marco.

02:06And he's whipped it straight into the side of Robert Sanchez, isn't he?

02:13Now, Madouakaïa, too quick, too clever.

02:16Goes down, corner given.

02:18And he looks in the direction of the referee's assistant and wonders if there should have been any more,

02:22but Di Marco has a look of concern on his face.

02:26I think that's really savvy defending, actually, Augusto and Solani.

02:29Between them, not to commit to the challenge, Madouakaïa showed great initial little bit of pace,

02:35flair, getting to the byline, but good defending.

02:38Maybe a little pull of the shirt, but not enough to be an infringement.

02:49Now, here's Churam. He's going to hit this.

02:51Oh, what a goal. How about that?

02:54From Marcus Churam, straight after the restart, from the drinks break.

02:59And he's thumped one right into the top corner.

03:02Robert Sanchez didn't see it and Inter lead 1-0.

03:05Oh, they just played through, Chelsea, there, beautifully.

03:08You've got to say huge credit to Bissac, the right-sided centre-half,

03:14who all of a sudden finds himself in possession.

03:17No pressure, too easy to break through.

03:21And then the pass from Correa and the finish.

03:24Well, it's beautiful stuff in the end, but you can't take anything away from the finish.

03:29It is dispatched.

03:34Madouakaïa's done brilliantly.

03:36Here's Guillaume.

03:38Dug the shot out, span it off a defender behind for a corner.

03:41Chelsea trying to reply quickly.

03:44Bissac, Di Marco helped it on.

03:46This is Correa, now Churam.

03:49Chelsea with plenty of bodies backing his way.

03:52No-one tracked the runner, though.

03:54And the header loops harmlessly into the gloves of Sanchez.

03:58But again, a worrying gap in the Chelsea defence just for a moment there.

04:04Giuseppe Hall.

04:08Koukourea.

04:09Oh, what a save from Sommer.

04:11Guillaume got a little touch to that.

04:13And the veteran Swiss in the inter-goal had to readjust quickly, and he did so really well.

04:20Really clever from Koukourea.

04:22Quite a cross shot, wasn't it?

04:23And Guillaume reacted so well, so intelligently, to redirect it onto the target.

04:30Fantastic stop.

04:33Correa, intercepted by Fernandez.

04:38Here's Barella.

04:40More chance here.

04:41Really thumped by Di Marco, and really well saved by Robert Sanchez, too.

04:56Hammered it over.

04:58Set up for a bunker.

05:00What an effort, and what a save from Yann Sommer.

05:04What a shame he made it, though, because that would have been something pretty special to witness in the Stamford Bridge.

05:08Sunshine from Christopher Nkunku.

05:11Well, it's an outstanding save, because that is perfect.

05:15Brilliant from Nkunku.

05:25More side here.

05:26Oh, off the post, and then Fernandez.

05:28Can Jackson make something of it?

05:30So close to 1-1.

05:34Colwell and Kofana combining.

05:42Palmer, now for Mudrick.

05:44Opportunity here for Chelsea, maybe.

05:4625 to play-ish.

05:47There's Nkunku.

05:48Oh, right the way across the face of goal.

05:50Thank you, touch from Nicholas Jackson.

05:53You expect him to find the corner of the net.

05:56Brilliant from Palmer.

05:57Mudrick, likewise.

05:59It's a brilliant pick-out.

06:00That's easy to just put into an area and it comes to nothing,

06:04but he really fed that into the feet of Nkunku.

06:07Should have scored.

06:13DiMarco.

06:16Flipped his cross.

06:17Found the free man.

06:18Chance here.

06:21And still.

06:23And still.

06:25Three, four swings at the ball.

06:28And it ends up almost out for a throw-in.

06:34Here's Mudrick.

06:35Can he deliver it?

06:39Just ran out of road.

06:41Yeah, and probably well defended.

06:44And that's what you want to see from Mudrick.

06:46Not every time, but he has to be a little bit more dynamic

06:48and a bit more aggressive, taking on opposition players.

06:52Just Gusteau in space.

06:54Options in the middle here.

06:56Probably could cross as well.

06:57Little nudge in the back there of Nkunku.

06:59It's broken for Raheem Sterling.

07:01To the byline.

07:02Back for Palmer.

07:03So close.

07:04Could have been a nice goal there.

07:06Palmer and Sterling linking up after a good ball-in initially from Gusteau.

07:16Lifted in by Palmer.

07:18And then smashed in by Leslie Ogachukwu.

07:21To level things up right at the end.

07:24A thumping finish from the substitute.

07:27He's added plenty to this game since his arrival.

07:30And now he's leveled it up.

07:321-1.

07:33Well, he's been almost perfect.

07:35Well, he has been perfect, Ogachukwu.

07:37He broke up her inter-attack.

07:39He's been really good and poised on the ball.

07:42And here, he reacts quickest.

07:44In fairness, it bounces perfectly for him.

07:46But then you still have to control that finish, that volley.

07:51On the half-volley, actually.

07:53It doesn't matter that the direction isn't right in the corner.

07:57It's too hot to handle, really, isn't it?

08:03And it was right at the very end of the game.

08:05So pre-season is wrapped up for Chelsea.

08:08With a late leveller from Leslie.

08:11It means that the Blues avoid defeat in their final match

08:14before the action kicks off for real this time next week

08:16when the champions of England come to town.

08:18The champions of Italy held here, though,

08:21thanks to Ogachukwu's equaliser.

08:24With pretty much the last kick of the game.

08:26That after Liram had smashed Inter into the lead by half-time.

08:31Good game. Lots of chances for both sides.

08:34Inter, not so many as Chelsea.

08:36He created plenty.

08:38A couple of defensive issues, maybe.

08:39But lots to like going forward.

08:41And Pedro Neto to add to it.

08:42Final score at Stafford Bridge.

08:44Chelsea 1, Inter Milan 1.
