Joao Pedro to Chelsea transfer sparks £97m deals Enzo Maresca needs immediately
Joao Pedro to Chelsea transfer sparks £97m deals Enzo Maresca needs immediately - Despite his future almost certainly lying away from Stamford Bridge, it was Christopher Nkunku who scored the eventual winner to send Chelsea into the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. His extra time goal set Enzo Maresca's side on their way to a dramatic 4-1 win.
Nkunku was substituted on at 10:47pm on Saturday night in the 79th minute but would have to wait over two-and-a-half hours before putting his side ahead. The game was stopped due to bad weather and persistent lightening strikes in Charlotte.
When the referee suspended the match with five minutes remaining, very few would have imagined it playing out as dramatically. Benfica won a stoppage time penalty to equalise before two of the introduced players by Maresca went on to score to book a place in the last eight.
