(Video): Unexpected goalscorer helps Chelsea secure a draw against Wrexham in friendly match
Chelsea played their first pre-season friendly of the new season early this morning, and UK fans may just be catching up on the result.
The Blues ended their match against Wrexham in the USA with a 2-2 draw, requiring a late equalizer in the 82nd minute to secure the draw.
Pre-season friendlies often reveal both strengths and weaknesses, and there were both positives and negatives for new head coach Enzo Maresca.

As shown in the video, midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu scored Chelsea’s late equalizer with a precise left-footed finish into the side of the goal.
Ironically, Ugochukwu is unlikely to be part of Chelsea’s squad this season, with a loan move seeming quite possible.
