[Video Goals] Napoli 3-1 Chelsea: Blues Down But Not Out
Chelsea threw away a one-goal lead to lose 3-1 to an impressive Napoli side at the Stadio San Paolo in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.
Chelsea threw away a one-goal lead to go down 3-1 to an impressive Napoli side at the Stadio San Paolo tonight in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.
Juan Mata put the Blues ahead before Lavezzi (2) and Cavani put the Italians in control heading in to the second leg at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea may feel slightly unlucky to have lost by a two-goal margin as both sides were dangerous going forward, but woeful at the back.
Althought the defeat will no doubt increase the pressure on Andre Villas-Boas, the away goal does give Chelsea a decent chance of turning the tie around back in London. Watch video highlights from Napoli 3-1 Chelsea here:
