Reggie, 16, makes history as Blues cruise into final

ENZO MARESCA gave a first start to a 16-year-old and it was child's play for Chelsea to reach the Europa Conference League final.

But the Blues now face three games with top-flight rivals as they seek to upgrade to Champions League qualification before the May 28 final in Wroclaw.

Forward Reggie Walsh became the youngest Chelsea starter since 1967 - and their most youthful in Europe — in one of 10 changes from Sunday’s team that beat Liverpool.

Walsh made his debut off the bench in the 4-1 win in the first leg in Djurgarden. And there was little jeopardy for him and his teammates against the Swedes.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal to ensure Victory in Europe day continued into the evening in west London.
