Chelsea have been left to stew on back-to-back losses after a frustrating night in the Champions League.
The Blues went to Turin for Wednesday’s Group H tie on matchday two hoping to bounce back from their first defeat of the season against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
However, despite dominating the resurgent Serie A giants for long spells, Chelsea could not breach an improved Juventus defence.
The holders were crucially caught sleeping at the start of the second period, with Federico Chiesa thumping home the only goal of the game past Edouard Mendy to seal a memorable win for the Bianconeri.
It was Chelsea’s first group stage loss for two years and only the second time under Thomas Tuchel that they have suffered back-to-back defeats.
Much work to do ahead of Saturday’s visit of Southampton to west London.
